Today I attended a Bear Hunt protest in New Jersey. Being a freelance photojournalist, I was able to use my press pass to gain access to areas the protesters are not allowed. I wanted to be an observer and not talk too much to anyone. I wanted my camera to capture what words could not. Below are a few photos that, to me, are the most powerful. They are also available to view in my gallery.
Note: Apparently Gov. Murphy had promised to ban all bear hunting (when he was elected) but it turns out when he WAS elected, he ended up only banning it on State land. The protesters continue to come out during hunting season to voice their anger and disappointment.
