*[Enwl-eng] Under Trump, hunters can now shoot baby bears and wolves as they sleep.

[ENWLine]

"Hunting" techniques like cornering mothers and their babies in their dens, shooting caribou as they swim to safety, and more are back thanks to Trump. Sign Now   Under the Trump administration, the National Park Service just made it legal for hunters to use the most brutal and inhumane hunting methods over 20 million acres of Alaskan land, including shooting bear cubs and wolf pups as they sleep with their mothers. Hunters will now be allowed to blind these animals with spotlights as they are cornered in their dens, shoot caribou at their most vulnerable as they are swimming, and use packs of trained dogs to hunt one single, defenseless bear at a time. The thin reasoning behind which the administration is hiding is that these hunting practices will decrease predators, and therefore increase other prey wildlife such as deer. But hundreds of scientists who oppose the rule change say that there is not nearly enough evidence to support this idea. This is an obvious attempt to appease hunters, and will only lead to the needless pain, suffering, and potential depopulation of some of our most precious species. Please sign the petition today demanding that the National Park Service withdraw these rule changes immediately! Thank you,   Lauren W. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Techniques this cruel and unfair shouldn't even be considered hunting. It's more like a massacre. Sign the petition today.
