Let me just say that I stand in solidarity with my black brothers and sisters and condemn barbaric practice:
For the first time in 33 years, New Jersey is allowing hunters to thin out its burgeoning black bear population. Animal-rights activists have assailed the six-day hunt, arguing that the state should sterilize the bears instead. How, exactly, does one sterilize a black bear in the wild?
Answer: One doesn’t, unless one wants one’s own cojones to serve as a light snack for said bear.
