Stop the Trump administration from allowing cruel and unethical "hunting" practices on America's National Preserves in Alaska!

The Trump administration's Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, has proposed rolling back a 2015 National Park Service rule that banned controversial hunting practices on 19 million acres of America's National Preserves in Alaska, which include millions of acres of Wilderness.

The new, proposed rule from the Trump administration would amend the National Park Service's current regulations to again allow for unethical and barbaric practices in our National Preserves and Wildernesses in Alaska such as:

• Killing mother bears and cubs in their dens;

• Baiting brown and black bears with donuts or other human foods;

• Killing wolves and coyotes with pups during their denning season;

• Shooting caribou from boats or shore as they cross lakes or rivers;

• Indiscriminate and cruel trapping;

• Using dogs to hunt bears.

These outrageous killing practices are not permitted elsewhere within National Parks and Preserves and they have no place on America’s Preserves in Alaska either.

Please take action and tell Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to immediately abandon the proposed rollback of wildlife protections in America’s national preserves in Alaska!

We just need a few pieces of information to connect you with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

Stop the Trump administration from allowing unethical and barbaric "hunting" practices on America's National Preserves in Alaska!

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke

Subject: Reject RIN 1024-AE38

Message:

I'm writing today to demand that the Department of Interior abandon the proposed rule RIN 1024-AE38.

The proposed rule seeks to repeal a common-sense 2015 rule that prohibited overly aggressive predator control practices on National Preserves in Alaska.

The 2015 rule banned unethical and barbaric practices such as killing mother bears and cubs at their den sites; baiting brown and black bears with pastries or other human foods; killing wolves and coyotes with pups during their denning season; shooting defenseless caribou from boats or shore as they cross rivers; and using dogs to hunt bears.

These practices are not permitted elsewhere on NPS Preserves and are not in keeping with the spirit or the language of the National Park Service's directive to "provide for the maintenance of sound populations of, and habitat for, wildlife species of inestimable value to the citizens of Alaska and the Nation" for the "benefit, use, education, and inspiration of present and future generations."

This proposed rule would overturn an existing 2015 NPS rule that is consistent with federal law and outlaws overly aggressive predator control practices on these Preserves in Alaska. This 2015 rule was supported by scientists and thousands of Americans who commented in support of protecting predators from these cruel killing practices.

Again, I ask the Department of Interior to reject RIN 1024-AE38.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Remaining:

Stop the Trump administration from allowing cruel and unethical "hunting" practices on America's National Preserves in Alaska!
