As a Virginian who has visited your great state on several occasions, I am 
moved to write you because you are being asked to eliminate bear baiting. 
Your response to this vote will have repercussions far beyond your borders 
and it may increase the conflicts between bears and people and eventually result 
in disruptions in the justly famous bear and other wildlife populations of 
Maine. I say this as a retired wildlife biologist and wildlife law enforcement 
officer. For over thirty years I worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service 
and a state (Utah) Fish and Game Department. My last eight years were spent 
largely fighting those who are asking you to eliminate bear baiting. 
You should resist the arguments to eliminate bear baiting for three very good 
reasons.
