[Lekooks] New Hunting Proposal in Alaska

[Fran B.]

Dear Friends,

The Trump administration is moving to reverse Obama-era rules barring hunters on some public lands in Alaska from baiting brown bears with bacon and doughnuts and using spotlights to shoot mother black bears and cubs hibernating in their dens.The National Park Service issued a notice Monday of its intent to amend regulations for sport hunting and trapping in national preserves to bring the federal rules in line with Alaska state law.Under the proposed changes, hunters would also be allowed to hunt black bears with dogs, kill wolves and pups in their dens, and use motor boats to shoot swimming caribou.

Please consider clicking on the comment link at the right hand side of this document and sending a statement denouncing this proposal.

Thanks,
Fran Bills
