 Florida black bears are a unique subspecies of the American black bear, and they are a keystone species in their ecosystem. Special interest groups, including some hunting organizations, are pressuring the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to reinstate a black bear hunt in Florida, despite public opposition and a lack of any legitimate bear population data to support this move. CPF is collaborating with Bear Defenders in support of educational and advocacy efforts to prevent the trophy bear hunt in Florida and to call out the FWC for encouraging their staff for promoting this reckless and unjustified approach to population control . Please consider signing the petition to prevent a violent and reckless trophy hunt that will only serve the myth of population control while inspiring hunters to continue illegally hunting bears.

When communities start experiencing conflicts with bears, state wildlife agencies frequently institute a hunt or raise the quota of an existing hunt. But abundant studies indicate that hunting does nothing to resolve human-bear conflicts; hunters target bears in the woods, not the ones causing problems near human habitation. Hunting also does not permanently reduce bear populations. According to numerous studies, numbers actually rebound with the increased availability of food.

How can you help prevent this reckless trophy hunt:

1. Sign and share the petition.
2. Email the FWC and tell them you oppose any trophy bear hunt in Florida.
3. Attend the FWC meeting in May and help advocate. 
4. Follow Bear Defender on social media for the latest updates. Stop The Bear Hunt!

 CPF has provided research and critically vital assets to the legal team for the compilation of this consumer protection class action lawsuit filed in February of 2025, pertaining to Coca Cola’s $10 billion Fairlife milk. CPF is still working diligently to ensure maximum exposure and elaborate consumer education of a dairy industry powerhouse whose brand identity is fundamentally built on above standard animal care and environmental stewardship while the truth tells a story of rampant systemic abuse. CPF also conducted investigations pertaining to deceptive recycling claims and environmental impact fraud.
