It is legal to kill hibernating mother black bears and their cubs in Alaska

The time to act is now. The National Park Service Must Finally End These Cruel Hunting Practices in Alaska's National Preserves      Sign Now      Arfin,   The National Park Service recently took an important step for wildlife conservation by banning bear baiting in Alaska's national preserves — a practice where hunters use bait to lure and easily kill brown and black bears. However, this new rule does not go far enough. Other brutal bear hunting practices are still completely legal, like killing hibernating mother black bears and their cubs.   Sign this petition to urge the National Park Service to ban all cruel hunting methods in Alaska's national preserves!   Scientific evidence and wildlife experts agree: killing predators to boost prey populations, also known as "predator control" is both ineffective and ecologically harmful. We must end the unnecessary, harmful hunting of native carnivores in the United States. Sign the petition to demand the National Park Service immediately implement a comprehensive ban on all inhumane hunting practices. Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S.
