No Hunting Grizzlies... Period

[douglas9]

Following another legislative session where Republican lawmakers saw fit to impose their will on wildlife management, we saw the passage of SB 295.

Like so many other Republican efforts to privatize wildlife and destroy predator species, the bill is heavy on rhetoric and light on science.

Grizzly bears have not recovered in Montana. Lawmakers want you to believe they are, but facts do not match rancher and outfitter-infused talking points. What has been lost in this conversation is the fact that grizzly bears should never be hunted, period. At what point is Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks willing to enter the 21st century? At what point is our governor, who lives to kill wildlife, willing to accept that certain species are so vital, so rare, that Montana has a responsibility never to allow them to be hunted?

Such is the case with grizzly bears.

Montana was, at one time a couple decades ago, very progressive in its wildlife management policies... except for the part under the control of the livestock industry.
