Laurel's Law

"Laurel's Law is needed and my hope is that there are legislators who are willing to be advocates for wildlife!"

"The NPS needs up to date training on Bear Behavior. They also need to enforce their laws aimed at the public. This Tragedy was opted as an easy way out, not as a service preserving our parks, or wildlife. Park Policy needs to be seriously re-evaluated. "

"What happened was disgusting. Everyone a part of this makes me sick."

"The state park rules said there was the option to relocate the bear and it wasn't done - you chose the easy way out! Maybe signs "Enter At Your Own Risk" would keep the animals alive and the park not responsible for incidents."

"I am totally behind this law. I believe that there are measures that can be taken other than euthanization. "

"This baby Laurel was not treated right. It was a crime to put her to sleep."

"I am all for this. My heart broke when I heard that she was put to sleep. Not fair at all. She did nothing...The park had just made up their mind that this was what they were going to do, no matter what anyone said. Terrible rules they have!!"

"please educate people on bears,there's a lot of wonderful information available"

"Very sad this happened. Poor Laurel bear and shame on that man; hope he realizes he is responsible for her death!"

"Stop the euthanization of Black Bears and relocate them to remote areas away from people! This is what should have been done to Laurel, the black bear yearling. RIP Laurel "

"Laurel should NOt have died....I hope nothing like this happens again"

"Please change the laws that require the death of a bear accused of "attacking" a person. All circunstances should be looked at and other alternatives looked into."

"Consider consulting other Bear rehab centers for relocation of the animal if possible. thank you "
