Trump lifts ban on hunting hibernating bears


Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 2:11 PM - The state of Alaska is home to 16 U.S. national wildlife refuges and a vast variety of iconic animals — two of which are now fair game for hunters.

A joint bill from the U.S. House and Senate, signed off by President Donald Trump on Monday, revokes an Obama-era rule that bans "predator control" hunting on Alaska's refuges.

The ban protected hibernating bears from being hunted, along with wolf cubs in dens. It also protected these animals from being targeted from helicopters.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spent years declining state officials' attempts to extend predator-killing practices into federal wildlife refuges. To cap the requests, the government agency put forth a rule in late 2016 protecting wildlife on all Alaskan refuges from predator control.

The ban was a part of former U.S. president Barack Obama's climate change legacy, and just one in a line-up of environmental protection laws that are on the chopping block under the incumbent.

That's some bullshit. What happened to man against nature? You want those big ass military type guns then take your chances against a pissed off bear that's awake. Seriously these guys don't want to hunt the way their ancestors did or for the reasons they did. They just want to kill shit plain and simple.

Killing a bear in its den isn't hunting. It's just plain slaughter. Right up Dump's kid's alley. I loathe this "man".

It makes you a big stud. Takes so much courage.

It's like when DTs boys were holding up the bleeding elephant tail that they had cut off. Such pride of skill.
Cruel morons.

We met a hunter in Alaska recently. He was from.Colordo, and he had paid 15k fo hunt an elk. They fixed it all up for him, and is was a guaranteed kill, with a guide. He said, next he wanted a bear, and he was hoping the govt was going to make it easier. He said bears would be 20 to 25k.

This is about putting trophies on the wall, not the sport of the hunt.

And this does open the gates for both murder and revenge for that murder.

Someone who would shoot a hibernating bear deserves whatever response comes their way. Put me on a jury deciding the fate of an activist who hunts such hunters, and I'd let them go and wish them well.

Much like the ones Darth Cheney enjoyed in Texas and the carnage the brothers drumpf wreaked in Africa on endangered critters. Shooting fish in a barrel proves they have enough testosterone or something...shit-for-brains?

These fuckers have no compassion or empathy for anything.

Nobody in the US needs the bear for food now. That must have been the only justification at one time. And there are other sources of meat anyway.
