No hunting in the very rich areas of the state?

Over 1500 bear killing permits

Today at 5PM WFTV Channel 9 News! 

Checking the maps, one must notice that the only place with a bear to foolish human problem lies in the "Closed to hunting area?"

WHY?

No hunting in the very rich areas of the state?

The guess on the number of Florida Black Bears 3000?

Mind you that this is only a guess, on the way to a doctors appointment we, to our sadness, spotted another Black Bear down in central Florida.

How many others?

If your lose your license (by breaking the law) for whatever reason and you are stopped by a police offices, (license and registration) what can you plan on happening?

You are going to be arrested and on your way to court at the very least.

So, if we the people are not allowed to break the law, why is it that state and federal officials can get away with breaking their own laws?

On Monday, hunters hoping to shoot the Florida black bear during the state’s first bear hunting season in 21 years began buying up permits. With over 1,200 permits sold by Wednesday afternoon, it looked to be a hugely popular hunting event, regardless of, or perhaps because of, the national furor over Cecil the lion and the point of big game hunting.

For the right to shoot up to 320 of the formerly threatened species with a bow, crossbow, rifle, pistol, revolver, shotgun or muzzleloader, out-of-state hunters are paying just $300, while locals are paying just $100.

Open season on bears starts Oct. 24. Bait and dogs won’t be allowed, nor will hunters be allowed to take cubs or mothers with cubs.

Given that published reports say there are just 3,000 Florida black bears in the wild, we sent eight questions on the hunt to officials at

the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Lawsuit Aims To Halt Return Of Bear Hunting-August 3, 2015

Conservation groups want a judge to shoot down the return of bear hunting in Florida and to halt the pending sale of bear-hunting permits.

With permits for this fall’s hunt going on sale Monday, the Seminole County-based group Speak Up Wekiva filed a lawsuit in Leon County circuit court Friday challenging the constitutionality of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-approved bear hunt.

“There is no evidence to support the supposition that hunting bears in remote wildlife management areas will reduce conflicts in suburbia,” the lawsuit contends.

Another Medical supplier is closing its doors

 

Today while watching the news before my yard-work another healthcare supplier is going belly-up because of so much paperwork from government!

We in this country were,

one would guess,

 faulty led to believe that computers would help save our forest with much less paper use?

Not in congress with new law making apparently.

We are beginning to see just how correct Congressmen Alan Grayson was back while the media was poking fun at his report to congress?

A Kilgore medical supplier is closing its doors after 34 years, and the owner says it's Medicare's fault.

http://www.cbs19.tv/story/28885594/kilgore-medical-supplier-closing-after-34-years-blames-changing-medicare-regulations

Instead of working with our president to improve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, congress is passing laws making it harder for suppliers and providers to stay in business! Remember that (all of them are small business owners)?

Soon there will be no supplier of equipment and no providers to work with our healthcare in this country!

Just what our congress has been working to do.

Of course they have the very best insurance that your can buy for them!

Alan Grayson as a congressman has had the unique opportunity to see the republicans healthcare plan for America!

A blank piece of paper?

After saying he was inspired to read the Republican health care plan by the paper-waving GOP lawmakers at Obama's recent address, Grayson summed up his findings with a few simple pieces of poster board. "The Republican health care plan: don't get sick," he said. But, he added, "The Republicans have a back-up plan in case you do get sick ... This is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly!"

While congress is doing their thing, Grayson is still hard at work for the people.

Grayson Secures $6.5 Million Grant for Orange County Fire Department

Funding Will Help Hire 45 New Firefighters

Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-09) announced today that the Orange County Fire & Rescue Department (OCFRD) will receive a $6.5 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program that he helped to secure through his grants program.

OCFRD is the fourth largest fire department in the state. It provides critical support to Central Florida’s hospitals, schools, local businesses, and tourist destinations such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Grayson wrote a letter to FEMA in support of OCFRD’s application, and Grayson’s Grants Coordinator met with OCFRD staff.

We shoot Hunters!

First day of hunting permits sold over 600 permits

More than 600 permits to hunt bears this fall were sold by mid-afternoon Monday, the first day in more than two decades that such licenses have been available in Florida.

The sale of the special-use permits began despite a lawsuit that was filed Friday against the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to halt the hunt.

The state hasn’t estimated how many permits — which cost $100 for Florida residents and $300 for non-residents — will be bought by Oct. 23, the day before the hunt begins.

The hunt is planned to last two to seven days, depending on the number of bears killed.

600 plus permits a day.

29 days in August since the first permit day.

30 days in September

23 days until the first day of the hunt?

There will be two to seven days of the hunt, if our hunters learn how to read?

So!

Remembering Cecil, everyone's pet lion murdered by a crazed hunter with a rifles loaded to the hilt with a silencer on it!

In theory there could in fact be 6,000 plus Black Bears killed before a judge can rule that the hunt is illegal because it is against Florida's law to kill a Black Bear!

Lawsuit Seeks To Halt Return Of Bear Hunting

By JIM TURNER OF THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA • 14 hours ago

The lawsuit doesn't ask for a judge to halt the commission from offering the permits. However, Speak Up Wekiva and groups supporting the lawsuit -- the Sierra Club, the Massachusetts-based Environmental Action, the League of Women Voters of Florida and the Center for Biological Diversity -- want the state agency to suspend permitting until the lawsuit is settled.

"If they do sell the permits, and the hunt is ruled unconstitutional, they'll have to pay everyone back, and that could be very time-consuming," said Chuck O'Neal, a Longwood resident and member of Speak Up Wekiva whose name also appears on the lawsuit.

Smith said permitting remains on schedule to begin Monday.
