Color me shocked: Many California lawmakers don’t understand wildlife conservation efforts.
Why?
The state legislature could soon vote to ban black bear hunting. And sadly, it may succeed given precedent.
Seeing special interest groups and their Democrat backers pushing this should concern Californians and non-Californians alike. Unfortunately, the Golden State’s preservationist policies reign supreme. Worse they are threatening the future of hunting there.
This is unsettling. If Senate Bill 252 advances, it ll have major ramifications for conservation and species management going forward.
