After a two year hiatus Governor Smiley will resume the bear hunt. “I feel awful. But I can’t violate what are obvious facts that are potentially undermining public safety,particularly among kids, I just can’t in good conscience go on in this direction.” Phil Murphy said. Bear sightings have more than doubled across the state from last year alone. The population of bears is sky rocketing and expected to rise significantly next year. Bears have been spotted in areas such as Lakewood that never see bears. The executive order is expected to be signed by the end of the month. What’s your thoughts on the bear hunt resuming?
