Save the bear cubs. Activists are asking for petitions to be sent to the Minister of Natural Resources—this is the last chance to prevent the killing of bears in their dens.
More than 7,5 people voted on a public discussion website against the cruelty-laden amendments to the Hunting Regulations. "Unfortunately, there is reason to believe that officials at the Ministry of Environmental Protection have no intention of taking these votes into account."— activists state project "The earth touches everyone".
In response to 775 suggestions submitted by citizens during public consultations, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued a virtually instantaneous, standard response: "Not taken into account," environmentalists wrote. Officials also ignored the opinions of experts who strongly opposed the amendments.
If they are adopted, hunting defenseless bears sleeping in dens will be permitted. In this case, many bear cubs will be orphaned, facing the risk of dying from the cold or being kept in captivity for life.
The final decision must be made by the Minister of Natural Resources. Alexander Kozlov"The Earth Concerns Everyone" asks that you write to the Ministry of Natural Resources website as soon as possible and demand that the amendments not be approved. "If there are many of us, there is a chance that the minister will listen to citizens and scientists.", the activists write.
They prepared a sample text and a simple instructions, how to write an appeal.
