Bear killings trigger reward

Reward Offered As Bear Killings Continue

5/21/2009

The Alabama Wildlife Federation is on the look-out for state poachers, who are suspected of killing black bears in Mobile County.

This week a $10,000 reward was being offered by the conservation group for any tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for killing the bears.

Black bears are protected by Alabama law due to a decline in population; as reported previously, three state men have already been charged this year with killing black bears.

Any tips can be reported to the Alabama Wildlife Federation’s hot line at (800) 272-4263.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

Again....Take the bows, guns, truck, fine them $5000 per bear and throw their butts in jail for 5 years per animal.  Then get serious about their sentence!

I have NO room in my heart for those who poach or kill out of season!  Not much in my heart for those who trespass either!!!

Love playing that string music and sending a Muzzy flying!

Amen, Bowman! Here in NY DEC is looking in to who killed a 400 lb black bear & left it. It was shot near a house, investigation to continue...
