Congressman Shri Thanedar introduces the Don’t Feed the Bears Act, a bill aimed at prohibiting bear baiting on federal public lands. This legislation seeks to enhance wildlife management, public safety, and animal welfare.
As I was traveling to Sevierville, Tennessee, to meet with eco-travel expert, Scott King, I noticed this beautiful statue of a black bear. There are efforts all over the Smoky Mountains to protect black bears but yet up north in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, these beings are still hunted. Talk about a difference between the north and the south! We need to stop destroying wildlife habitat. They have a right to be here too!
