I agree with you about the hunting. I have no use for hunting.
It is also the size of this hunt that shocks me. They have killed a thousand bears in one area in a couple of months. It is a shocking loss of life. With that many hunters out killing it is certain that not all the kills would be humane. Most likely many animals suffered before they died. The bear population must be seriously depleted in the area. I can't guess how that will effect the ecological balance of the area. It is complex how one species fits in. Removing a thousand members of a species is going to have consequences.
