Bears Should Be Safe in Wildlife Refuges

View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]Dear John,

Alaska’s bears need your help.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) plans to rescind regulations
protecting animals in Alaska’s Kenai National Wildlife Refuge — including
allowing bear baiting. Bear baiting involves feeding bears at a designated
station, so that they become familiar with the location as a food source —
subsequently, making them easy targets for hunters.

TAKE ACTION
[[link removed]]As bears prepare for hibernation, they eat excessive amounts of food to put on
an additional 20 to 40 pounds. Baiting stations take advantage of this natural
behavior — and hunters lure bears with donuts, grease, and other high calorie
foods in mass. Bears and all wild animals should be safe in our nation’s
refuges.

Submit a comment to the U.S. FWS by August 10th and urge them to reject this
rule and protect Alaska’s bears from cruel trophy hunters

For the animals,
Kim Kelly
Director of Legislative Affairs
