Current Events > Trump administration ends ban on killing Alaska bear cubs, wolf pups

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Trump administration on Tuesday overturned an Obama-era rule that barred hunters in Alaska national preserves from baiting bear traps or killing denning bear cubs and wolf pups or other practices that have been condemned by environmental and wildlife protection groups.Under the new National Park Service rule, effective July 9, hunting on natural preserves in Alaska will be controlled by the state, which allows baiting of brown and black bears; hunting of denning black bears with artificial light, killing of denning wolves and coyotes, hunting of swimming caribou and hunting of caribou from motorboats.

The change stems from 2017 orders issued by then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to provide greater recreational access for hunting and fishing in Alaksa, National Park Service spokesman Peter Christian said, acknowledging that the rule-change was unpopular.

I would say the vast majority of people did believe this was a controversial move and were almost entirely opposed to us lifting the ban, he said.
The Trump administration has shockingly reached a new low in its treatment of wildlife. Allowing the killing of bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens is barbaric and inhumane. The proposed regulations cast aside a primary purpose of national preserves to conserve wildlife and wild places, Jamie Rappaport Clark, president of Defenders of Wildlife, said in a written statement.

Alaskan state hunting laws already allow all these rule changes. All this does is just match the federal rules with the state rules in Alaska, and is supported by the state government and parks department. The native tribes in the state also support the new rule change, saying the 2015 rules threatened the tribes way of life and ancient sustainable-management practices.

Maybe you should stay out of Alaskan affairs
