To the Editor:

It is truly unnerving when the black bear hunt comes around every year in the fall and winter. Animals that are not harmful to humans are shot and their young are left to die without their mothers.

And now it is unbelievable that there are individuals proposing and even sponsoring hunts that killsquirrels, where people learn to remove their pelts and are instructed in how to cook and eat these creatures. And this is to be a day of family fun, even for children.
