Bearly an Expert in His Field

The HSUS Calls for End to NJ Bear Hunt [More]
Of course they do. And I'll bet they even have a "study" to back up their demands.

I win!
New study shows that conflicts with bears have been steadily decreasing
One thing about that study author and his methods, though:
Firstly, the plan promotes a report by Dr. Edward Tavss that centers on the field of wildlife management even as Tavss admits that his area of expertise is bio-chemistry. It's similar to a foot doctor reporting on matters of the heart while portraying to his patients that he has the expertise of a cardiologist. Furthermore, the report lacks peer review, a process used by scholars to ensure the integrity of published work related to a particular field of study. The issue here is the absence of credibility.

Say, Doc, I'm getting this whirring noise every time I accelerate--do you think it's the transmission or maybe just a belt?

The Humane Society is against ALL hunting, as we know. Better for overpopulated wildlife to starve and die of disease than be ... er, HUMANELY killed and eaten. Better for them to eat PEOPLE. Better for people to die in collisions with large game on the move.
I wonder. Does Dr. Tavs, biochemist, experiment on ... animals?
