[at-l] bear hunt in NJ is off

[Tom Janofsky <twj175@voicenet.com>]

I heard this on the radio this morning and just thought some people
might be interested to hear the NJ decided yesterday to suspend plans
for a bear hunting season this year.  The Philly Inquirer has an article
at http://web.philly.com/content/inquirer/2000/09/13/city/JBEAR13.htm

Plans now include relocating bears and killing "nuisance" bears.

They're estimating that NJ has more than 1000 black bears.
