SO, shooting a harmless, un-named bear is OK !
Hope's birth was watched by thousands online, while 500 US schools have been following Hope, her mother Lily, and new cub,Faith, on the Bear Centre's website.
Any comments ?
Here's mine. Hunters are sick, sadistic individuals ! Gun Laws ? - time for a rethink.

My dear friend Norseman,
I am sickened by this event and reminded of the words to a song on an old John Denver album...
"And you tell me the battles are over, and you say the war is all done..
Go tell it to those, with the wind in their nose,
Who run from the sound of the gun.
And write it on the walls of the great whaling ships,
Or on ice flows where conscience is tossed.
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die,
And it's we who must measure the cost."
There are other equally gut-wrenching and pertinent verses, but you catch my drift.....
