There's a lawsuit going on right now to do just that.
SCI and New Jersey Sporting Groups File Suit to Force NJ Bear Hunt Decision
Washington,
D.C.--Safari Club International (SCI) and the New Jersey State
Federation of Sportsman's Clubs Inc. (Federation) filed suit yesterday
in New Jersey to force action on black bear management.
Despite the best efforts of the state's Fish and Game Council
(Council), New Jersey's Commissioner of the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) has refused to approve a new comprehensive black bear
management policy (Black Bear Policy) that includes hunting as a
management strategy. Under New Jersey law, without a policy in place,
the State cannot hold a black bear hunt. The Commissioner's inaction
has lead to a drastic increase in bear incidents state-wide since the
last bear hunt in 2005.
SCI President Larry Rudolph said, "A well regulated hunt is essential
for the sound and responsible management of black bear in New Jersey
and for the safety of the general public. The goal of our lawsuit is
simply to put legal pressure on the Commissioner and the Council to
take the necessary action to adopt a Black Bear Policy. Forcing action
on a policy will allow the Council -- the people entrusted under New
Jersey law to manage wildlife -- to decide whether a hunt is both the
appropriate means of managing the state's bear population and a valued
recreational experience."
Legal Background:
In 2006, SCI and the Federation went to court to defend the Black Bear
Policy that was adopted in 2005 because then-DEP Commissioner Lisa
Jackson and Governor Jon Corzine abruptly withdrew that policy and
cancelled the annual black bear hunt.
In a 2007 decision, the Court questioned the Commissioner's authority
to unilaterally withdraw the Black Bear Policy, but nevertheless
invalidated the 2005 Policy, finding that it had not been properly
adopted in the first place. The actions of the DEP and the court's
ruling left New Jersey with no approved strategies for reducing the
state's growing bear population. The Court directed the Commissioner
and Council to work together to formulate a new black bear management
policy, and encouraged SCI and the Federation to return to court should
the parties reach an impasse. That impasse has now occurred.
