Report Inappropriate Comments

I have just signed a petition from Change.org in support of Lynn Rogers. Upon reading the comments posted by petition signers, I am totally amazed at the influence and scope of Lynn Roger's work. His website is viewed world wide, and many teachers in the U.S., as well as other countries, are using his website to inform students about bears. There are pages of comments claiming how invaluable this information has been, and how it is teaching students to appreciate all wildlife, and to understand individual animal behavior as well as the interdependence of wildlife and the surrounding environment. In an age of climate fluctuation and increasing threats to the environment, we need more independent research and we need to find more ways to reach young people and develop their interest in the interconnectedness of all. In the meantime, the DNR has cut their campground educational programs and focused on encouraging young people to hunt and kill for sport. Governor Dayton needs to rein in the DNR, which he heads through his appointment of the commissioner. Landwehr's DNR has generated controversy over the wolf, the moose, and now the bear.
