DUE TO THE BUILDING OF HOMES IN THE FOREST AREAS OF THE BLACK BEAR PEOPLE ARE NOW COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF AREA TO EXIST. THEY SAY THEY ARE MAKING IT OPEN SEASON ON THE BLACK BEARS BECAUSE OF THE BLACK BEAR POPULATION. IN TRUTH IT IS DUE TO THE HUMAN POPULATION AND THE NEED FOR GREED. I AM ASKING YOU TO SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP THE KILLING OF THESE BEARS AND TO STOP THE BUILDING THAT IS ELIMINATING THEIR HABITATS. THE BEAR ARE RUNNING OUT OF PLACES TO LIVE AND HUNT FOR FOOD DUE TO THE CONSTANT DESTRUCTION OF THEIR LANDS. PLEASE HELP STOP THIS PERMANENTLY AND MAKE THEM A PROTECTED SPECIES PERMANENTLY. THANK YOU
