New really bad hunting rules

This sort of thing was never among my big issues, but this is so outrageous I have to get on it.

Petition: Trump Is Allowing Hunters to Kill Baby Bears and Wolves in Their Sleep!
https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/298/957/138/?z00m=32443628

The Trump administration is infamous for a great deal of things, just one being its affinity for hunting and hunters' rights. During his time as president, Trump has made it a priority to grant hunters their wildest dreams -- he has opened up more and more public lands for killing sprees, allowed countless endangered species' body parts to be imported to the U.S. as trophies, and installed some of his closest personal friends and members of the hunting community into positions at important conservation organizations, such as the Fish and Wildlife Services. And now, his latest scheme to appease hunters is to allow them to take up the most antiquated and cruel hunting tactics -- including killing babies and mothers in caves and dens as they sleep.

Sign the petition if you think the National Park Service needs to immediately withdraw the newly published rules that would allow hunters to employ these terrifying hunting methods.

Incidentally, I don't think a city boy like Trump ever gave any thought to this, it is merely that he gives the Neanderthals is his party whatever they want.

Trump's fault because the buck stops on the president's desk, but I smell Pence.

That includes what is being done to our wildlife. This is sickening. Thank you for sharing. I will sign it.

that it’s impossible to keep up. It’s a death cult and destroys anything beautiful or good.
