I am all for legal hunting, but if this law is over turned the US is taking a huge step backwards. Luring animals away, shooting them and their cubs while they sleep in their dens isn't hunting, it's a slaugther. Trumps sons love hunting and it's passed it's first hurdle, so most are thinking there isn't much in Trumps way to allow this to go on. Soon there will be no wildlife to kill because open season would have been declared. Controlled hunting is one thing, but this suggests just going out and mass slaughter and not caring if they are a nuisance animal or not.
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/hou ... es-n722481 Hunters could once again go after bears, wolves and other predators in national wildlife refuges across Alaska if an Obama-era federal law is overturned by Congress and gets the president's approval.
Supporters of repealing the rule, which was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in August, got a boost Thursday when the House voted 225-193, mostly along party lines, to undo the law.
Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, is behind the resolution to strip away some of the federal government's control over Alaska's 76 million acres worth of federal wildlife refuges. Under the federal law, hunters are prohibited from shooting or trapping wolves while at their dens with cubs, using airplanes to scout for potential grizzly bear targets, trapping bears with wire snares and luring bears with food to get a point-blank kill.
