Montana JUST became the third U.S. Northern Rockies state to move forward with attempts to make it LEGAL to SLAUGHTER GRIZZLY BEARS in Glacier and Yellowstone National parks, following Idaho and Wyoming. This region has the highest remaining population of endangered animals, which have been federally protected since 1975.
As many as 50,000 grizzly bears once roamed the U.S., but most were killed by hunting, trapping, and habitat loss following the arrival of settlers — and humans are still their biggest threat. Less than 2,000 of these native, iconic treasures exist today, struggling to avoid extinction.
While the bear population in the U.S. continues to drop, these endangered species could completely disappear if we allow careless and brutal OVERHUNTING to threaten the livelihood and survival of mama bears and helpless bear cubs.
We MUST demand federal protection against the savage hunting practices that are destroying the bear population before it’s too late, and these beloved animals are EXTINCT.
