Dear Editor,
Regarding the two little orphan bears in Mammoth Lakes.
We the people have given the responsibility to Fish and Game to take care of our animals. It seems all they want to do is play a power game with other agencies and not protect orphans and other animals in need. It is easier to let them die or kill them.
Why not let the two little bears go to a bear rescue until we know for sure they can take care of themselves and be returned to the wild.
I see the power play among all the different agencies such as the Road Department, Park Service and CalTrans. We are all one country and we should all be working together in the spirit of co-operation.

Lets not forget DWP and Mammoth Mountain on our peice of work list.
Well said Colleen, I”m still hoping something will be done about these two cubs.
Power play … please expand ..
Easy to explain Big Al. Whatever Searles and MLPD say, DFG will do the opposite. It is all about showing who has the power and nothing to do with the welfare of the animals.
Bishop DFG is despicable. I do not think they all act like that.
I hear ya Mammothite .. I get it .. I know some who work for the Bishop DFG, I know they care, I know some care, but then others seem to not care, just like any other outfit. I don’t think, that as a whole they are despicable, just my… Read more »
Colleen,
You are so correct, Who has the right to decide life or death for these inocent baby bears? All of Wildlife deserves a right to live just as the people of Fishy and Gamey do.
Equality if the Answer !
