Congress Just Made It Officially Legal To Kill Hibernating Bears

[Dr Grump]

GOOD , there are more than enough bears and wolves in Alaska !!

Really? There would only be 100s of 1000s, not millions. There are billions of humans. WTF is wrong with you you fucking moron.

Repost for my edit/addition of links.

FYI this recent article has a mention of it, as well as the latest (most likely pups from that bad alpha we had to kill) - Wolf attacks dog north of Anchorage

I'll try to find others as well... Here's some more. These ones talk about the attacks in Eagle River and Fairbanks back in 07-08 (the one I mentioned was in 2011 I thought, but hell I might be wrong, this shit is fairly common up here, basically anytime there's not enough snow as the moose out run them or flat out don't migrate down from the mountains until later [after the pack's pups need feeding]) - Wolves Blamed in Two Eagle River Attacks Wolves Attack Joggers' Dogs on Fort Richardson Alaska Star - Archived Story


This is another case of ya'll non-Alaskan's not knowing what the fuck you're talking about. Shut up and manage your pavement jungles, we got this.

Does "fair chase" require too much effort these days?

Poopy pants Republican Ted Nugent got busted for that [emoji16]

Republicans are dicks.

There can be no other explanation

What does it matter if the bear is hibernating or not? It's going to wind up dead anyways.

 

[EverCurious]

Funny, but true, it is indeed legal to hunt bears (have to get a permit and our F&G guys manage their population) However, if you wake a bear up to take a picture, you can go to jail hehehe

The law rolls back Alaska’s ban on killing the vulnerable bears, along with wolf cubs in dens. It also allows for hunters to target the animals from helicopters.

Hunters in Alaska can now track and kill hibernating bears thanks to a U.S. House and Senate resolution rolling back Obama-era regulations against the practice.

President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on Monday, which rolled back Alaska’s ban on killing the vulnerable bears, along with wolf cubs in dens. It also allows for hunters to target the animals from helicopters.

The Republican-sponsored legislation impacts 76.8 million acres of federally protected national preserves across Alaska.

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) took to the Senate floor last month to denounce the previous rule that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued in August.

Murkowski called it “bad for Alaska, bad for hunters, bad for our native peoples, bad for America,” and a “direct attack on states’ rights.”

In Sullivan’s argument, the lawmaker said the change was for Alaskans “who value hunting as a deep part of their culture.”

The Humane Society of the United States condemned the rollback.

Kill hibernating bears? Kill wolf cubs in dens? Helicopters? That doesn't sound like hunting to me. It sounds like extermination. Does "fair chase" require too much effort these days?

I'm sure Jesus would arm up with a 30 06 and slaughter animals for fun, wouldn't he?

"Hey Jesus, want to get in a helicopter and go shoot shit?"
"Well it's all my dad's creation, so if I...ok just don't tell him."
"I won't if you won't, we love killing all the stuff he created. Especially these bears while they are asleep cuz we is guud hunters."
"Is it called hunting if you open the front door to a bear's home and shoot it while it's asleep in it's bed?"
"Shut up and git in. You have any gas money on you?"

Maybe, but they were there before humans. Don't they have rights?

No .....

I agree! However, Jesus better be armed with more than a .30-06.

Really? So, the next time the game warden catches me will 100 rainbow trout and 10 elk - I can just ignore him?

Male bears kill female bears and their cubs and eat them...but we shouldn't kill male bears?

He could just 'lay hands' on the bear and it would become his sidekick on his jungle adventures. His jungle name would be Big Jesus and together they would be...
B.J. and the Bear.

Killing ANY of God's creatures for "sport" tells me a great deal about the subhuman.

I agree.

How long was the original law in existance before obama came along and changed it?

Every law, rule and regulation signed by obama should be repealed.

Actually this was an issue a few years back. Our local wolf pack started killing dogs in the neighborhood and crossed the line when they attacked a woman walking her dog behind my house and ate the golden out of his collar while she beat on them with sticks. We needed to kill that alpha, he was leading the pack into neighborhoods to prey on human pets. The feds wouldn't let us take him out humanely - a single shot from a plane - so instead we had to fuck around with laying traps that other animals and maybe even people might blunder into. Thankfully we did kill him, and a few others of the pack that probably didn't need to die but for them stepping into the trap first... Just sayin'

Now see, i have no problem with that. But that's far different from the topic of this thread.

But yes, a bullet would have been more humane.
