Why isn’t DEEP killing more bears?
With multiple ways to prevent incidents and kill problem bears, where is the need to escalate to a bear hunt?
In a @ctmirror.org #ScholarReflection, @ctscholarsnetwork.bsky.social member Susan Masino cautions against authorizing bear hunting in CT, arguing that CT’s Department of Energy & Environmental Protection has all the tools it needs to manage black bears.

Opinion: CT lawmakers, stop treating guns like a special case
Connecticut cannot afford to treat firearms as immune to the basic principles of public health, consumer safety, and corporate accountability.
In her @ctmirror.org #ScholarReflection, @ctscholarsnetwork.bsky.social member @jennneccidineen.bsky.social of @uconn.bsky.social provides evidence supporting two bills before the CT General Assembly that would address loopholes in current gun regulation.
