“I’m very proud of the fact that through the conservation efforts here in the state of Arkansas. We have the most successful reintroduction of a large carnivore. I think back several decades before this program started there were roughly only 50 bears that they could identify here in the state. And now the population is well north of 5,000. So, a very successful conservation program and a really neat thing to get to be part of. Hold[ing] baby bear cubs is a pretty exciting thing to do.” — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders
