To the Editor:

I would like to request of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission that you stop referring to the hunting of bears as a “harvest” and call it what it is, the slaughter of these magnificent creatures.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
