"Killing Anchorage bears wrong" - Correct, Mr. Ellison: "panic-driven justifications!" Panic drives the hunting-industry publicity behind our entire wildlife management system. Kill the wolves or they will eat our children. Kill the bears or they will...aaah! The entire predator control program is panic-driven. Them predators is gonna kill all them moose! The "depend-ons" will starve! Most of this is a subsidy (how many thousands of dollars to kill one wolf?) to the hunting/motor-sport industry which has already cleansed many areas of wildlife. Want no bears? Come up here to Hatcher Pass where they are more scarce than in Anchorage. Sport hunters and their motor-support industry want to hunt bears in Anchorage because...there are some bears left alive in Anchorage.
