A recent article in the Syracuse Post-Standard served as a study in contrast compared to an act at the 2019 New York State Fair. The article documented the shameful slaughter of over 1700 black bears by sadistic hunters in the Empire State.
Fair fans saw similar animals in the presentation of Bearadise Ranch at the Fair. While The Hound has been critical of shows featuring wild animals, at least the folks at Bearadise Ranch have some measure of respect and affection for these formidable ursine New Yorkers.
Meanwhile heavily-armed jerks get their demented kicks by going into wilderness areas to kill them as a sick form of entertainment.
Of course, bears aren’t the only critters on New York’s list of wildlife victims, all sanctioned by our own so-called Department of Environmental Conservation. When you see the DEC bureaucrats at this year’s Fair, ask them why they allow such appalling carnage, supported by your tax dollars. Don’t accept their ludicrous excuse that it somehow benefits the animals. That’s total bear shit.
Meanwhile the Post-Standard, particularly reporter David Figura, glorifies these bloodthirsty idiots with publicity, so they’re complicit in this disgusting cruelty.
