Protect the Black Bears and Mountain Lions of Iowa.
Please do not participate unless you

Iowa SF 2169 would classify black bear and
mountain lion as fur-bearing animals. These intelligent
animals would be grouped together with the prevalent beaver,
mink, otter, muskrat, raccoon, skunk, opossum, and
coyote.
Tragically, part of our natural history was
lost when black bears and mountain lions were hunted to
extinction in Iowa years ago. Recently there have
been a few sightings of mountain lions, but no black bear
sightings. A
viable population of mountain lions or black bears does not
exist in our state.
If a few lone mountain lions or black bears do succeed
in establishing a population in our state, they should be
protected, not hunted.
These rare predators should not be classified as
"fur-bearing" mammals until there is a viable population in
our state.
