This petition is aimed at seeking justice for the black bear cubs in North Carolina that were recently subjected to an act of animal cruelty. A group was caught on camera pulling these innocent creatures from a tree just to take a selfie, demonstrating a complete disregard for their well-being. Such actions are not only unethical but also illegal under North Carolina's animal welfare laws which prohibit the intentional harm or harassment of wildlife (North Carolina General Statutes). It is crucial that we hold these individuals accountable to send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated. We urge local law enforcement and the District Attorney's office to press charges against this group and ensure they face appropriate legal consequences. Please sign this petition if you believe in justice for all creatures and want to see those responsible held accountable.
