United States: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Protect Bears in Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
This action is CLOSED.
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is planning on opening Alaska’s Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to bear baiting – allowing even more killing of grizzly bears. The proposed rule would rescind regulations that ban some of the cruelest hunting methods on the refuge, including allowing the shooting of bears after baiting them with food like donuts. The goal is to artificially inflate the moose and caribou populations so hunters can kill even more animals.
This action is CLOSED.
