Florida - the cruelty is the point.

Dear you,

Hello from Florida! See photo. Those are black bears. And as you have heard, they are now legally approved as hunting fodder in this state. When? Mark your murder-calendar for early December. The select group allowed to take these creatures out must possess lottery-drawn licenses to kill. My oh my. Well, here is an interesting resistance option:

If you are a Florida citizen, enter the lottery. Take your best shot at winning the right to take out the bears and then, well, just don't. Our clever strategy may not work. Many precious wild things will go down. But we, you, can eat up one those legitimized licenses to kill by simply winning them and not hunting. What will the state of Florida do? Demand that those of us who win a lottery right to kill bears be required to present the animal's corpse, lay it at the feet of the Florida legislature to prove we murdered as directed? Come on, man.

Enter the lottery! Take a slot that would be given to a "it's really fun to kill wildlife for no reason" stick-figure-with-no-soul and give these creatures a bit of breathing room.  It is, after all, gambling. Saturate the lottery; we could outnumber them. Try.

If you care, if you like, consider joining the fight.

Meanwhile, the fight goes on in Ukraine; my god, those people have heart and relentless hope. In Gaza, I have no words. In the USA, devastating floods sweep people away, as does the current regime who rounds up and imprisons innocents at will.  Because he/they can.

So, I post a bit about saving #FloridaBlackBears. There is no fatuous flaw at work here. No matter how flighty I might be, I speak for something more lovely, more pure than "us". Of course, we humans suffer here, there, everywhere. But our mindless plunder of Mother Earth is simply deplorable. And for those who kneel to sky-gods, perhaps unforgiveable.

Anyway, to those who give a damn, join in the potentially positive fun of disrupting the bear hunt in Florida.  Apply for a bear-kill lottery ticket! You might win the right to do something beautiful.

Please.

Do it as soon as you see applicants allowed online. 

Thank you.
