Alaska Ping
OKay, so it’s not really about bears and wolves - it’s about the feds confiscating land from the state of Alaska.
Notice the deliberate conflation between an Obama imposed rule that never was voted on, and a law that was passed by Congress and signed by the President.
This was a power grab by Obama.
Arguably, the state has a stronger interest in protecting its resources and environment than some bureaucrats thousands of miles away who may never have traveled outside of Maryland or Virginia and have no idea what the real world is like.
This one does make me sad. Inhumane. And I think we have bigger things to worry about. Like getting mclame to finish drying up so he chill blow away.
What they won’t bother to mention is that it WILL NOT be open season on bears and other animals - it just means that the State of Alaska will again control their hunting, and the (still horrible) Endangered Species Act will be a backup.
As to my own views, bears are a pain in the ass when people go hiking and camping and if every one of them were dead, other than maybe in zoos, I would not shed a tear.

Wait. The premise of the article is a lie. Only in the most hyper-technical legalese can an administrative rule issued by the Fish & Wildlife Service be called a “law.” It’s just a federal agency regulation.
When Congress repeals it and the President signs the bill, THAT’S a law.
More fake news from the leftist propaganda machine.
