To the editor:
My dear Mainers, I have lived in this state for many decades. I have walked in the Maine woods. I’m asking you to show some compassion for our Maine bears and, for those who want to hunt, I’m asking you to really hunt. Learn how or go with a guide who knows how.
My thoughts and prayers are with my fellow Mainers and with the bears. Please show some compassion and sportsmanship.
Vote “Yes” on 1 in November and live with a clear conscience. Vote “Yes” on 1 to ban the unsportsmanlike and mean use of dogs, bait, and traps in bear hunting.
