Anti-Hunting BEAR Group Receives Pants on Fire Liar Award

AmmoLand Gun News

New Jersey --(Ammoland.com)- Today, December 8th 2011, the New Jersey Star Ledger News Paper featured a story calling out a small group of radical New Jersey Animal Rights activist for a blatantly lying to show support for their cause.

The BEAR Group, who’s website continued to claim that they have the support of 99% of New Jersey residents, received the papers “Pants On Fire” award for lying.

From the article:

“Our ruling

A black bear advocacy group claimed on its website that 99 percent of New Jersey voters oppose hunting.

That number is way off. The organization acknowledges it’s wrong, but late in the afternoon on Dec. 7, more than a day after PolitiFact New Jersey initially contacted the group, the statement was still on the website — even after Jones said a webmaster would be notified to change it.

The statement drops to the ridiculous level for that reason, earning a Pants on Fire!”

Bear Hunt Needed In New Jersey

New Jersey Fish and Game

Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- A state court has upheld the validity of the state’s Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy (CBBMP).

The ruling today by the Appellate Division of state Superior Court clears the way for the week-long bear hunt starting on Monday, Dec. 5.

The three-judge panel rejected arguments made by the New Jersey Animal Protection League and the Bear Education and Resource Group contending the DEP and State Fish and Game Council acted arbitrarily and/or in bad faith in creating the CBBMP, which includes an annual bear hunt as part of the integrated plan to deal with the state’s black bear population.

The bear hunt will run through Saturday, Dec. 10, to be held concurrently with the Six-day Firearm Deer Season. Bear hunting zones include large sections of Morris, Sussex, Warren, and northern Passaic counties, plus smaller areas of Hunterdon, Somerset and Bergen counties. There is a limit of one bear per licensed and registered hunter.
