Killing without honor, compassion
To the editor:
I heard Ms. Camuso with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife say that shooting trapped, chased, and fed bears is “kind.” There is absolutely nothing “kind” about killing animals without honor and compassion.
Mainers, join with me in voting “Yes” on Question 1 to stop bear trapping with painful snares, bear hounding with radio-collared dogs, and bear baiting with food slops and candy.
I’m appalled this is allowed to continue in our state – with the motto, “The Way Life Should Be.” This is most certainly the way life shouldn’t be.
Let’s bring honor back to hunting and compassion to our animals by voting “Yes” to ban these very unkind practices and bolstering fair hunting.
