#1 Hunting bears is not the right thing to do.

“The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never should have been [withheld] from them. The question is not, ‘Can they reason?’ nor, ‘Can they talk?’ but, ‘Can they suffer?’” Jeremy Bentham, 1789

No Bear Hunt NV has questioned the scientific conclusions supporting the bear hunt since the hunt was approved. After a decade of a stable bear population, the department biologists reported an average annual population growth rate of 16%.

#3 Hunting with Hounds is Cruel and Inhumane.

Over half of the states which allow bear hunting have outlawed hounding as being unsporting and inhumane. Montana’s wildlife management officials consider prohibiting hounding a feature of the state’s “fair chase” principles. Nevada wildlife officials continue to endorse this cruel practice.

#4 Hunting Increases Urban Bear problems.

Scientific studies show that there is a linear correlation between the amount a predator is hunted and the incidence of human/predator conflict. This occurs because hunters disrupt the social dynamic in bear populations by unnaturally removing key animals.
