Thanks to everyone for speaking out to defend Alaskan wildlife on 76 million acres of national wildlife refuges against cruel and inhumane killing methods.
Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate passed S.J. Res 18/H.J. Res 69 by a party line vote of 52 to 47 to roll back the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that protected these animals.
This appalling action will allow cruel and unsporting practices such as shooting or trapping whole families of wolves while at their dens with pups, using aircraft to scout for brown and black bears to shoot, trapping bears with steel-jawed leghold traps and wire snares and luring grizzly bears with food to get a point-blank kill. Read more about how this affects our nation’s wildlife on my blog.
The bill now goes to President Trump to be signed into law.
The fight isn't over. With your unwavering support, we will continue to do everything possible to preserve animal protection laws and stop further attacks on animals.
Thank you for all you do for animals.
Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO
