In a few short days, more than 27,000 people signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/protect-california-wildlife-oppose-s-b-252\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-california-ban-bear-hunting\" title=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\">Change.org petition<\/a> opposing Wiener&#8217;s ban on bear hunting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A California senator has proposed a ban on bear hunting in the state, prompting backlash from people and hunters in the surrounding community. Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat largely representing San Francisco, introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB252\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-california-ban-bear-hunting\" title=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senate Bill 252<\/a>, &#8220;The Bear Protection Act&#8221; with an endorsement from the Humane Society of the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the bill leaves intact provisions for killing bear to protect people and property or for the advancement of science, it would criminalize bear hunting in general. Black bears are not endangered, in fact, the state&#8217;s population is booming, with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-california-bear-hunting-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-california-ban-bear-hunting\" title=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\">estimated 40,000 bears according<\/a> to wildlife experts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the increasing encroachment of bear populations into human habitats across California, Weiner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/california\/article248775710.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-california-ban-bear-hunting\" title=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">defended his bill<\/a>, saying, &#8220;Over the past few years, black bears have faced unprecedented habitat loss due to climate change and wildfires, and continued sport hunting in California makes survival an even tougher climb,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s time we stop this inhumane practice once and for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California currently issues 1,700 permits for bear per year, with wildlife officials petitioning the state to increase that number up 300 to as high as 2,000 per year. Wardens are warning that bear populations, particularly in the Lake Tahoe region, are some of the densest in the country, and they are becoming increasingly apathetic and even aggressive to human habitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" title=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cali-bear-ban.jpg\" alt=\"California Bill to Ban Bear Hunting Proposed\" class=\"wp-image-141195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cali-bear-ban.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cali-bear-ban-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cali-bear-ban-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cali-bear-ban-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>California wildlife experts are calling to increase the number of bear tags, but this new bill would eliminate bear hunting.

recourse for continual public safety through seasonal population control,&#8221; they added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In addition, RCRC member counties would have to navigate an often inefficient bureaucracy for obtaining depredation permits, and relying on insufficient actions by state and federal agencies to do the work that hunters have done capably in rural areas for centuries,&#8221; they
