Subject: [BULK] Breaking news: Video shows bears tormented for "sport"

Helpless black bears are tormented for "sport" in South Carolina. Please speak out. Trouble with links or images? View this message online. August 23, 2010 Only in South Carolina: Barbaric Bear Baiting Dear Sibyl, HSUS investigators recently attended several bear baiting events in South Carolina. What they found will shock you. A captive bear -- claws and many teeth cut down or removed -- is tied up and abused for hours. The S.C. Department of Natural Resources gives permits to people who release teams of dogs to harass and bite terrified, defenseless bears. Please sign the petition asking the South Carolina DNR to revoke possession permits from anyone who uses bears in these cruel spectacles, and inspect all captive bears to ensure they are not used for bear baiting.
