The Department of Interior has taken initial steps to end protections for bears, wolves, and other animals on National Park Service (NPS) Preserves in Alaska. Their plan would allow outrageous practices including:

• Shining blinding spotlights to aid in the killing of bears and cubs in their dens;
• The use of donuts and other baits to draw bears to a location where they will be shot;
• Killing wolves and their pups during denning season;
• Using dogs to hunt bears;
• Indiscriminate and cruel trapping;
• Shooting defenseless caribou from boats or shore as they cross rivers.

These currently prohibited practices would be allowed on land that belongs to all of us–National Park Service Preserves. Please speak out against this proposed slashing of protections on these NPS lands in Alaska by submitting your comment today
