Bill Crain
Bill Crain, an avid animal rights activist who teaches psychology at the City University of New York, has made quite a stir — both good and bad — protesting against the state’s bear hunt since its reinstatement in 2003. Police have dubbed him a “gentlemanly” protester, but he has consistently been arrested for civil disobedience every year for breaking the law by stepping outside of the designated protest area and toward a bear weigh-in station where hunters check in bears at the Whittingham Wildlife Management Area in Fredon.
