> 280-year ban on hunting on Sundays, despite receiving thousands of

> phone calls from humane advocates, equestrians, bird watchers, and

> others opposed to having hunting seven days a week in the state. In

> the same week, you authorized a plan set forth by the Maryland

> Department of Natural Resources to hire sharpshooter to kill thousands

> of wild mute swans, who are unfairly being scapegoated for the

> deterioration of the Chesapeake Bay habitat. Perhaps most outrageous

> is the your vocal support of a black bear hunting season in Maryland,

> something which has been prohibited in the state for the past fifty

> years.

>

> Governor Ehrlich, you have been in office for less than one year, and

> already you are wiping away animal protection measures that have been

> established through years of hard work. The majority of Maryland

> residents---97%-- are non-consumptive wildlife enthusiasts who do not

> support the slaughter of wildlife, and your new, pro-hunting agenda is

> hurting Maryland's reputation as a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.

>

> You have quickly and methodically established yourself as the state's

> most animal-unfriendly governor in recent memory, gutting protections

> for wildlife on a number of fronts, and I strongly urge you to stop

> any measures to expand hunting, especially of mute swans and of black

> bears.

> Sincerely,
