UPDATE: Unfortunately, HR 4089 passed the House and is on the way to the Senate.
The so-called "Sportsmen's Heritage Act of 2012" is a highly controversial bill that combines several radical hunting proposals into one package. This legislation seeks to: a) indulge a small group of wealthy trophy hunters who want to import polar bear trophies from Canada in defiance of current law; b) mandate that federal agencies open nearly all federal public lands to hunting without regard to the impact on wildlife and other resources; and c) strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its ability to protect habitat, animals, and people from lead poisoning through toxic ammunition exposure.

(15,189 posts)So called "men" who kill innocent animals just for a fucking sport. Disgusting. Let them kill them with their bare hands, now that would be impressive. I would still root for the bear. What gives these "men" the right to hunt animals into extinction? Hunting unless for food, and population need, should be outlawed.
