"wildlife need not suffer EVERYTIME for our lack of common sense and personal decency. we already take so much from nature...must we kill EVERYTHING that we come into contact with? "
"I totaly support this issue of killing the bears minor scratches vs an actual attack It should be decided per incedent!"
"change the law to be humane!"
"What happened to Laurel was wrong. That tourist was in the BEAR'S HOUSE!! The bear should not have been given the death penalty for the ignorance of a tourist."
"If there is a concern about a certain black bear as there was with Laurel, would it not be better to relocate the bear rather than kill it? How do we punish the people that disregard the warnings to stay away from these beautiful creatures? Living in NH "
"Please change this too broad and general law. Need provisions for special circumstances."
"Every caring animal person should sign this."
"These rules need to be changed. Bears don't need to be punished for the crimes of humans."
"euthanisation of bears should only be allowed if they have a terminal illness. We have a responsibility to care for the creatures on this planet not kill them"
"People need to be educated about the wildlife that share the land where they live. "
"We need change!"
"You should have contacted the NABC for advise."
"just last week our park rangers relocated a bear that was becoming to use to humans. Shame on the Smokie Mts. rangers for killing Laurel. Change the law, relocate and educate humaNS."
"This is so sad. She must have been very feroucious"
"ignorance is bliss! SAD!!"
