Animal protection groups are seeking an emergency court challenge to stop a black bear hunt from taking place next Monday in New Jersey.
The groups allege that the council bypassed required procedures for a hunt by misusing an emergency rule-making loophole. The court will allow plaintiffs to file an emergency motion by 4 p.m. on Dec. 2, three days before the hunt begins. Any opposition to the motion will have to be filed by Dec. 5 at 2 p.m.STOCK PHOTO/Nature's Gifts Captured/Getty Images
The council claimed the hunt was authorized due to increasing public safety concerns associated with the growing bear population. The hunting season is set to run from Dec. 5 to Dec. 10. Hunting is allowed a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset. Hunters will not be allowed to take or kill a black bear weighing less than 75 pounds or if the bear is in the presence of cubs, according to the council.
The council will hand out 11,000 black bear hunting permits. Each hunter can get up to two permits for different hunting zones but is only allowed to kill one bear during the whole season.
