	"description": "The Trump Administration is proposing to eliminate protections for bears and other animals on National Wildlife Refuge lands in Alaska. Shortly after finalizing their policy that permits the killing of denning bear cubs and wolf pups in Alaska, the administration has moved to reverse existing protections for bears and other wildlife on Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The Trump proposal would allow bear-baiting–or the use of bait stations to lure bears to be gunned down–and the use of leghold traps on the Refuge. These abdications of oversight on National Refuge System lands are part of a larger push to open or expand hunting on 97 refuges. Specifically in Alaska, the Trump Administration is actively targeting efforts by the previous administration to protect wildlife on federal lands against efforts by the state to radically control bears, wolves, and other carnivores to artificially boost ungulates. National Wildlife Refuge lands are held in the public trust to be preserved for the benefit of future generations. Allowing the use of &quot;bait stations&quot; and leghold traps is not in keeping with that mission. Please submit your comment today opposing this proposed weakening of existing protections.",
