David Trahan, SAM Executive Director wrote this column in todays Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel about the upcoming bear referendum, question 1. Send it around and learn more about the Humane Society of the United States. Seems HSUS has no problem with cruelty as long as it promotes their agenda! Quote from the column, By 2010, New Jersey’s bear population was 3,500, 10 times higher than recommended, but the HSUS used the courts to block any management of bears using hunters, even when bears were breaking into 70-100 occupied dwellings per year. Losing support, the HSUS offered a bizarre alternative: The state should capture male bears, inject their testes with heavy metals, essentially performing chemical sterilization, and then release them. In response to the proposal, Bradley M. Campbell, commissioner of the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, said, “I fail to see how injecting an untested chemical, at speculative doses, into the testes of our majestic black bear population could possibly be considered humane. There have been no studies to determine whether this would be effective, or to determine appropriate dose levels, or to assess what painful or injurious effects this might have on the bears used as subjects.” centralmaine/2014/10/04/more-bears-will-starve-if-question-1-passes-proponent-acknowledges/
