The practices of bear baiting, hounding and trapping are inhumane, barbaric, archaic and indefensible.

It is hard to believe that such practices could ever be considered acceptable, much less legal in a civilized society. It is an embarrassment that we even need a vote to outlaw such barbarism.

The time for it to end is long overdue. It goes without saying that I will be voting “yes” on Question 1.
