Wildlife Chaos or Smart Management? AB 1038 Explained

Rally day in Sacramento!
Today, conservationists, hunters, law enforcement, and wildlife advocates joined forces at the California State Capitol to push Assembly Bill 1038 over the line — the critical "Bear Bill" that reintroduces responsible dog hazing to help manage California’s out-of-control bear population.

CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis joins us to explain:

Why this bill is vital for public safety and wildlife health

How decades of failed predator policy led to tragic human-bear encounters

What the rally accomplished — and what still lies ahead

How opponents are misrepresenting the bill to stop it

This isn't about hunting bears — it's about restoring balance. Without smart management, California faces more deadly encounters like the fatal bear attack in Sierra County.

🛑 Enough is enough. It’s time to protect both people and wildlife by supporting AB 1038.
