Black Bears in Florida

Message from SPCA: Florida’s black bears have only recently begun to recover from near extinction, and they still face serious threats from habitat loss and fragmentation. Regardless, Florida is now considering a proposal to remove the black bear from its threatened species list, a move that paves the way to re-open "trophy" bear hunts, where hunters kill the creatures for hides or heads to display and brag about. .

Please send a brief, polite message to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and ask them to keep Florida's threatened bears protected.
