For the first time in a decade, Floridians will be legally allowed to hunt black bears in the state. The move was unanimously approved by the state’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission this month, but not without opposition from some conservation and animal rights groups.

Bear Warriors United filed a lawsuit Friday against the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission over bear hunt rules commissioners approved earlier this week.

Bear Warriors United argues a new rule gives the FWC executive director "unbridled authority" to create hunting zones and issue permits without scientific facts.
