Stop Congress from harming Alaska's wildlife

8:28:00 PM


"Some members of Congress are determined to use the obscure and rarely employed Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a rule enacted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that protects wildlife on Alaska’s national wildlife refuges from cruelty. The threatened FWS’ rule prohibits egregiously cruel and unsustainable predator control methods, including killing bears with leghold traps and snares, and killing black bear, wolf and coyote families in their dens. The rule does not prevent subsistence hunting on Alaska’s national wildlife refuges. If the rule is overturned by invoking the CRA, the FWS will be permanently barred from reinstating it unless Congress passes a law allowing a new rule."
