Animal protection groups file emergency court challenge to stop black bear hunt in New Jersey
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on November 30, 2022
Animal protection groups are seeking an emergency court challenge to stop a black bear hunt from taking place next Monday in New Jersey. The state's Fish and Game Council authorized the hunt earlier this month.
The groups allege that the council bypassed required procedures for a hunt by misusing an emergency rule-making loophole. Plaintiffs are asking the court to allow them to file an emergency motion.
