For ten years, Florida’s black bears have lived in peace. But now, that peace is under threat. The state is proposing a new bear hunt — one that could send hunters into the woods to kill not just adult bears, but mothers and their cubs huddled near their dens. On May 4th, outraged Floridians gathered at Lake Eola to protest what they call a brutal massacre in the making. In this episode, we expose the truth behind the proposed hunt, hear from the voices fighting to stop it, and ask: how did we go from protecting these animals… to planning their execution?
