A quote from the above link.
"Even the Humane Society got into the act, announcing yesterday that its political arm would be financing television commercials attacking Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. for allowing bear hunting in the state for the first time in half a century. The ad shows a dead bear hanging from a meat hook.
"We've been frustrated with everything this governor has been doing," said Rachel Querry, a spokeswoman for the Humane Society Legislative Fund. "This is the first time we've ever been able to step up and do something about it.""
