FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Program and Panel Discussion on Bears in NJ on NJN Public Television
Monday, July 25, at 9 pm
STATEWIDE – On Monday, July 25, at 9 pm, NJN Public Television will present two programs that take a look at the growing bear population in New Jersey. First up, an independently produced documentary titled Bears: Too Close for Comfort. Immediately following the program at 9:30 pm will be The Bear Facts: What We Should Know, a special NJN 30-minute panel discussion on bears in New Jersey, hosted by noted attorney Raymond Brown of NJN’s award-winning Due Process. The Bear Facts focuses on the issues that arise when humans and bears live in close proximity to each other. Brown moderates the panel of guests that includes Eric Bunk, northern New Jersey director, Ted Nugent United Sportsmen of America; Bradley Campbell, commissioner, NJ Department of Environmental Protection; Stu Chaifetz, director, Animal Protection PAC; John Rogalo, north vice-president, State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs; and Lynda Smith, founder and director, The Bear Education and Resource Group.
The panel discussion will provide viewers with the opportunity to learn about the current situation and hear what panel members think should be done. The Bear Facts: What We Should Know will be web cast on the NJN web site at njn.net and can be seen on NJN’s digital station and on Time Warner cable on channel 750 in New York.
Bears: Too Close for Comfort at 9 pm is an independent production by director/producer Tom Phillips. In 2003, an unprecedented number of human and black bear encounters took place in New Jersey. Biologists attribute these escalating encounters to what may be the most successful comeback of bears anywhere in the United States. Bears are becoming more commonplace in the mostly densely populated state in the country. Phillips presents some of the events surrounding the controversial bear hunt of 2003 in this Omni award-winning documentary.
