Vermont’s Bear Hound “Training” Season is Hell on Earth for Bears A Vermont bear hounder recently posted this disturbing video. His hounds chased this terrified bear through the woods and up a tree. The bear is teetering on a small tree limb that could’ve snapped. The hounder only leashed the hounds after the bear climbed the tree. Killing a bear during training season is illegal, but terrorizing and harassing them is not. This abusive recreational activity wreaks havoc not only on bears, but al

Recent footage from a Vermont bear hounder reveals hounds that chased an exhausted bear up a tree—all for the sake of selfish recreation. Vermont Fish & Wildlife, you often talk about bears venturing into communities and causing conflicts with people. Don’t you want bears to stay in the woods? If so, why do you allow bear hounders to chase and terrorize them through the very places we want them to remain—for six months of the year?

Bear hound hunting is happening right now in Vermont. Hounds terrorize bears through the woods, into roads, and onto private property. If the bear climbs a tree for safety, they’re an easy target for the hunter. Some bears refuse to climb a tree resulting in fights on the ground leaving both the hounds and the bear injured or worse. Hounding is legalized animal fighting. Contact your legislators and ask them if they’ll support bill H.323 to ban bear hounding. Click here and insert your town to f

This video taken by a Vermont bear hounder shows a bear in clear distress. The bear was chased for miles during the summer bear hound "training" season. You can see the bear drooling, likely from heat exhaustion. This recreational activity is bad for bears, bad for landowners, and bad for all of the non-targeted animals who are also victims. Ask Vermont Fish & Wildlife why Vermont is one of only a handful of states that allows bear hounding to start so early in the season. Learn more about bear

🚨 ALERT 🚨 Today marks the start of Vermont’s bear hound “training” season, during which packs of hounds are unleashed into the woods to pursue bears. Hounding poses serious risks, especially at this time of year when mother bears are caring for small, vulnerable cubs. The stress and disruption caused by hounding separates cubs from their mothers, putting their survival in jeopardy. Vermont Fish & Wildlife stands out as an outlier—other state agencies permit bear hound training later in the sum

This Vermont bear hunter is watching himself on his trail camera shooting this bear on the morning of the first day of bear season. You can hear him laughing about the bear being shot. We find it suspicious that this bear was shot and killed right in front of the trail camera. Vermont Fish & Wildlife maybe you should look into this hunter possibly baiting. You can message us for his name if you care to investigate. | Protect Our Wildlife Vermont

This is bear hounding folks and it is legal for six months in Vermont between the training and hunting seasons. It is deeply concerning that Vermont Fish & Wildlife endorses legalized animal fighting. The bear hounder (unsure of his location) who shared this video wrote the following: "If you notice, that bear cannot catch and hold a dog to maul it because every time it turns to grab a dog the others put teeth to its rear." Everything in this video is completely legal in Vermont. A Vermont bear
