The McNeil bears that visit Katmai National Preserve are under threat.

The three-week trophy hunting season begins on October 1st, and there is no limit on the number of bears that may be harvested.

Please speak up in support of the bears, by writing a letter to:

Marcia Blaszak
Alaska Regional Director
National Park Service
240 West 5th Avenue
Anchorage, AK 99501
You could also email the National Park Service at http://www.nps.gov/SER/sendmail.htm?o=%408*3OEJ%2BEIJ%5E%3DKQR%5DQCZEJTF%2F2XY(OX.1%3FQ%26%5EE%25%231B%3AD%20%0A&r=/katm/contacts.htm , but the impact will not be as great as writing a letter!
