On Thursday, March 22nd, 2018. Ohio’s Fish and Game Commission voted for a hunt that would allow for the glory killing of one male grizzly bear. This is totally senseless and unjustified action on behalf of an agency that prides itself on conservation and touts the grizzly bears’ recovery as a success.
When the Yellowstone grizzly bears lost their federal protections the grizzly bears’ future landed in the hands of three neighboring states Montana, Wyoming, Idaho. Montana voted against a grizzly bear hunting season. Wyoming is moving forward with plans to slaughter 24 grizzly bears this fall and Idaho has set its sights on one male grizzly bear.
Grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone area are challenged with ever-growing threats such as habitat loss, human cause fatalities, lost a vital food sources, and now trophy hunting.
The fact is that this hunt has nothing to do with necessity or science…

Exposing the Big Game 
I can’t believe this guy is still Governor. But the thought of him going begging for wolf killing money at budget time gave me a chuckle. I guess some people are finally fed up with him.
“Rep. Phylis King, D-Boise, said, “So you have a million dollars in your fund and you’re asking for another $400,000. Are you going to do anything differently this year to spend that $400,000?”
Rey said no. “What the wolf board is asking this committee is just this one last time, contribute this $400,000 enhancement request to abide by the original spirit of the agreement that was struck with the industry and sportsmen. Beyond that, we recognize that there is certainly some room to evaluate how we move forward in the future.””
Comedy gold!
