Bear Warriors United argues a new rule gives the FWC executive director "unbridled authority" to create hunting zones and issue permits without scientific facts.

For the first time in a decade, Floridians will be legally allowed to hunt black bears in the state. The move was unanimously approved by the state’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission this month, but not without opposition from some conservation and animal rights groups.

A wildlife conservation group has filed a complaint that the state violated state law in how it developed rules for an annual black bear hunt.
