Dude, they’re not going to be hunted to extinction. It’s not a free license to kill as many bears as you want. All hunters are licensed and subject to an extensive set of limitations.

I think idea is that you never get anywhere near that point under the existing, and generally successful, North American wildlife management model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Model_of_Wildlife_Conservation). The state wildlife biologists will look at the overall population health, health of…

Most hunters do get a sense of satisfaction/pride from a “good hunt”. However, bear hunting draws the ire of the public and many hunters shy away from it because of public backlash even when they’ve “given it a sporting chance” as well as the fact that most of them don’t eat bear (not all bear tastes good, some is…

“hurl a drink at Tomi’s overprocessed bleached hair”

The flip side is this feeds their astygmatic worldview wherein they are victims, under assault by globalist leftists. Richard Spencer getting punched in the face dissuaded neither him nor his followers; months later they were marching in Charlottesville. Throwing drinks at Tomi Lahren isn’t going to cause some cosmic…

My thought too. I’ve seen what the French are willing to eat, convince them this is trendy and voila’.

Not for nothing, but the overwhelming majority of our earthworms in North America are non-native as well. So it’d be exotic on exotic violence.

The story of how non-native earthworms came to North America is actually a really interesting one. They’ve had enormous, and often negative, impacts on native ecosystems,…

This instance is going to hurt more than it helps marginalized people.

Real question, does anyone that writes for Earther regularly hunt and/or fish recreationally? If so, I’d love to know so I can read their work. If not, it would be a nice addition to the platform.

Do you think that Wisconsin and Alaska are neighboring states? Or even the same fucking BIOME?

As an Illinoisan, I unfortunately have to disagree with you on this. I’m always up for good natured cheesehead bashing, but yours seems misplaced. Wisconsin is a beautiful state. It traditionally has had very strict and progressive environment and wildlife protection laws. Politics are a bit fucked up right now, but I…

I remember seeing one of these in my back yard in southern California. I was in high school, so it was around 1976 - 1979. I had no idea they were not native.

Wisconsin? Where bears are considered a nuisance and there is no natural habitat for them that doesn’t put them in dangerous proximity to people? Want to guess how it’s a totally different situation than Alaska? Dick. 

Scotland keeps them at bay with haggis!

“Targeting cubs and mothers through baiting and other extreme hunting measures has no place on our public lands,”

Hopefully they’ve solved their butter shortage...

It’s France, they’ll find a way to eat them.

Like how in the fuck do you think you have the right to be in a private establishment when they tell you to leave?

I mean, the story says they were told multiple times the place was closed and need to leave, also that they entered a half hour after closing even. The whole situation could have been handled better and the off-duty cop didn’t need to put his hands on anyone. Although, the ladies should have listened to management…

The restaurant says they were closed, but the women say the restaurant was open because people were still dining. Anyone who’s worked service knows a closed restaurant often has people in it well beyond the official closing time, and while the public may still be inside, no one new gets to come in.
