Katie Hansberry, head of the Maine chapter of the Humane Society of the United States, and one who has weaseled her way onto the subcommittee for black bears at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has penned an opinion piece and the Bangor Daily News has published it as a “Special to the Bangor Daily News.”
I refuse to provide a link to her propaganda as it is not worthy of any recognition beyond expressing my complete disgust that any print publication would allow such unsubstantiated drivel to be published in their paper.
Not one shred of evidence was provided by the author to back up her ridiculous claims about bears, bear behavior, hunting, or trapping. The claims are so bizarre that the newspaper should have questioned the content and sought some kind of substantiations to support the claims.
There are none.
One can only hope that enough readers will see the work for what it is and toss it in the garbage where it belongs. All are entitled to an opinion. Such opinions presented in this fashion are nothing more than agitprop drowning in emotional animal perversion proselytizing.
Shame on the Bangor Daily News for giving this inculcation space in their paper.
