BEAR ALERT! Republican lawmakers and trophy hunting lobbyists are advancing some of the
most aggressive anti-bear laws ever!
In 2016, the Trump administration REMOVED crucial Endangered Species protections for grizzly bears, even rewarding trophy hunters with handouts for their brutal killings. Since then, rampant poaching and overkilling have driven this threatened species closer to EXTINCTION.
Right now, ruthless trophy hunters are indiscriminately slaughtering innocent
bears with some of the cruelest tactics, including blowing up sleeping bear cubs in their dens. And it’s totally LEGAL in the Northern Rockies states bordering Yellowstone.
Now, these anti-bear states are scheming with the hunting lobby to make it EVEN EASIER to freely MASSACRE this iconic mammal. If they succeed in delisting federal protections for
grizzly bears, it could completely WIPE OUT this vulnerable species forever. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service MUST step up immediately and do its job of
protecting grizzlies on the federal level. Will you add your name right now to tell FWS to SAVE innocent bears from
violent trophy hunters before it’s too late?

[[link removed]]Yellowstone grizzlies are federally protected, but only within the confines of
the park itself. But as soon as they innocently cross state lines into one of
the surrounding states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, they are fair game for violent hunters .
Roughly 50,000 BEARS are LEGALLY hunted in the U.S. every year, which doesn’t even account for the unknown
number that are poached illegally.
Without federal protections, decades of conservation work and attempts at
restoring this vulnerable species could all be ERASED -- leaving grizzly bears little chance at survival.
Friend, the new legislative session is already underway
-- so we’re running out of time to STOP the FWS from bending to pressure from anti-bear special interests. That’s why we’re urgently calling on environmentalists like you to take action
now: Sign the petition to DEMAND grizzly bear protections! >>
