On Sunday, September 28, I will be speaking at the Mid-Atlantic Animal Rights Coalition (MAARC) Symposium in Philadelphia. The theme for this year's symposium is "Advocating for Wildlife in Your Community." The title of my talk is "Why New Jersey's 2005 Black Bear Policy was Illegal." In 2006-07, I represented New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance and The Bear Education and Resource Group in a lawsuit against the state of NJ that successfully invalidated the state's bear management policy that called for five years of annual bear hunts.
