UPDATE: Florida's first bear hunt in 21 years, which was supposed to last until October 30, was called off by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on Sunday, after just two days of hunting killed 295 bears across the state.

People around the world are baffled about why 207 black bears were killed in Florida on Saturday.

"[I]f a buck comes out, I'll shoot it, and if a bear comes out, I'll shoot that," a Florida man told the Tampa Bay Times about the controversial bear hunt that started Saturday. "It's the first time Florida's done it in what, 20 years? So I figured why not?" A bear "would be a nice thing to have."
