We stand against Florida's controversial bear hunt decision

The Issue
Watch the video produced by The Girls Gone Green and learn about our stance in the war against our wildlife and then take action. Demand qualified people be appointed to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. What happened on October 24, 2015 is just the beginning.
If we can't find room for 3,500 black bears now in a state that supports 19 million people, then what will happen to them as development continues. We need better solutions from our leaders.
