Trump Administration Revives Banned Hunting Techniques in Alaska
The move reverses an Obama-era ban on hunting methods like baiting bears with doughnuts and shooting swimming caribou.
.....
The rule was opposed by a bipartisan group of 79 members of Congress and hundreds of scientists who said there was “little scientific evidence” that relaxing hunting rules for predators and allowing baiting techniques would increase the availability of other game.
“We have never opposed hunting, but this can hardly be considered hunting,” said Theresa Pierno, president and chief executive of the National Parks Conservation Association. “To be going into dens of hibernating bears and killing cubs and killing moms certainly is, I don’t think, the picture most people have of hunting.”
