Petition updateStop the Hunt: End Trophy KillingsWyoming OKs Grizzly Hunt
Center for Biological Diversity
31 may 2018
Devastating news from Wyoming last week. Officials there approved the first hunt in decades for grizzly bears that wander out of Yellowstone National Park. As many as 22 could be shot and killed this fall, including pregnant females. These bears were rightly protected under the Endangered Species Act for 40 years. But last summer Trump took away their federal protections — and now Wyoming is rushing to start these disgusting trophy hunts. Without safeguards in place, few grizzly bears from Yellowstone will ever find their way to other grizzlies in the region — a crucial step for their recovery. These bears need a plan for full recovery across the West — not a plan for trophy hunters to hang their heads on walls or use their skins for rugs. We're in court now fighting to restore federal protection for Yellowstone's grizzlies and stop the hunt. Please share this petition through social media with your friends and family.
