SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL (R-KY) STANDS UP TO PROTECT AMERICA'S BLACK BEARS
FROM ILLEGAL TRADE!!

On Tuesday, June 27, 1995, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced S.968,
the Bear Protection Act.

"Current inconsistencies in state laws enable a wildly profitable underground
market for bear parts to flourish in the United States," according to the
Senator.  Our bears go to supply Asia with gall bladders for use in 
traditional Asian medicines.

Wild Asian black bear populations are dwindling toward extinction due to the
trade.  Senator McConnell's bill will help protect our American bears from
the same fate.

This WILL IN NO WAY AFFECT LEGAL HUNTING OF BEARS and should be
applauded by sportsmen and conservationists alike.

PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATOR AT 202-224-3121 AND TELL HIM OR HER THAT YOU SUPPORT
S.968 PROTECTION FOR AMERICAN BEARS!
