Action Alert ~ Help Stop Trophy Hunting of Brown Bears in Alaska!
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has proposed regulation changes to allow hunting Alaska’s iconic brown bears over bait in Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Additionally, the proposed rule would also allow trapping diverse species with leghold traps that have serrated or spiked jaws and can be set within one mile of public roads—with no requirement for periodic trap checks. This flagrant lack of regulation means trapped animals will suffer excruciating pain, dehydration, starvation and predation for days or even weeks.
