President Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is proposing changes to National Park Service regulations to allow appallingly cruel hunting and trapping methods on 20 million acres of Alaska's national preserves. These include using bait to hunt brown and black bears, using dogs to hunt black bears, using the aid of artificial light to attract and then slaughter mother bears and their cubs in their dens, and shooting swimming caribou from boats. We must not allow this to happen! 

Consistent with the Trump Administration’s continuing all-out assault on wild animals, the reintroduction of these brutal and outrageous hunting methods will not only expose some of Alaska's most revered yet vulnerable wildlife to unconscionable harm, but also create profound imbalances to the entire ecosystem in which these animals play a crucial role. 

This proposal is also unlawful, as it directly contradicts Congress’s statement that the role of the National Park Service in national preserves and other federal lands includes providing for the maintenance of wild animal populations and habitat in Alaska for the “benefit, use, education, and inspiration of present and future generations." 

We urgently need your help to stop this senseless and cruel proposal!
