Do you love animals? Could you help save a bear?

Why kill these brown bears for no reason?

CBS news ran a segment on these brown bears in Alaska that have no fear of humans so people can photograph them or view them in their natural habitat. Next year throphy hunters will be allowed to murder these animals just for the trill of the kill. Oppose Hunting of Brown Bears Near the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, Alaska.

A young bear looked to Bowen for a little help with other, bigger, bears who wanted his fish. Guides shooed him off, but retired sanctuary manager Larry Aumiller said it's another sign that these are not your average bears.

"They're so confident and so unconcerned about us and what we're going to do, that they're relaxed enough to play," Aumiller says. "It's great."

Therein lies the problem. McNeil's bears may be too relaxed for what's about to happen, when, one year from now, adjacent buffer zones that protect them will be opened to trophy hunters. It's led Aumiller to retire, because he fears he's set the bears up for disaster.

He says, "When you finally get there, and they finally trust you, and you know that trust is going to be violated, I don't know how to describe it except to say it's heartbreaking."

    It is horrible.

    They had a bear hunt in NJ last year & it stayed cold, & the bears were still in their dens. These idiot hunters roused them out of their dens to kill them. I think that is despicable.

    Lets turn the tables. Lets rouse you, Mr Hunter, out of your sleep in the early AM & kill you as you step out your door!
