Fascinating article, Joanne! I’m sad because I didn’t know this was still such a problem in our world. So much for my hope that we were becoming a bit more enlightened as a society… At least articles like these help bring awareness to the problem… Thanks for putting it out there.

Ineresting story, Joanne. I wasn’t aware of the Chinese involvement in the ivory trade there.

Comment on Spirit of St. Francis Lives on in the Work of Edwin Lusichi by Angela

“As we were leaving, I got to shake Edwin’s hand and tell him, thank you. I told him that perhaps he had not taken a departure at all from God’s work but was redirected to care for these magnificent beings. He looked me right in the eyes and said, “That is what I believe too.””
This part of your story was very touching to me.

Tora,
This is my opinion, just as you have your opinion.
There is support that this hunter did in fact, know he was hunting in Lily’s family’s home range around Ely. There was only 1 female yearling in the area that this hunter chose to set up his bait station. That female was Hope.This hunter admitted that he knows Dr. Rogers, has spoken with him about the research bears, and knew that he set up his bait station in the research bears home range. If this hunter sincerely did not want to shoot Hope, all he had to do was not shoot any yearling bear that came to his bait station. At the time of day he killed her, he would have been able to tell she was a female yearling. He knew that Lily and her cubs were in that exact same area. This is compelling.
The Star Tribune, Forbes, and several other media outlets support that the hunter knew exactly what he was doing. Not illegal, but certainly unethical, greedy, and untenable.
We will need to agree to disagree. I have no desire to further an argument with you here. I am sure you can find a forum more suited to your viewpoint.

Do you have any facts to back up all your assumptions? You don’t know anything about the hunter other than that he *or she!* hunts bear in that area.

In fact, an article in the Grand Forks Herald’s Sept 27th issue refuted 98% of your unfounded claims.

I feel this hunter has a dark soul and life will make its mark on him one day..Why kill this beautiful bear. Do you REALLY feel like a BIG MAN..You have no heart and I only hope you have no children to pass on this bad trait…
