Judge Orders Additional Delay In Greater Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Hunt

For the first time in over 40 years, the first grizzly hunting in Wyoming and Idaho was postponed until the end of the month, the federal judge in Missoula state decided whether to remove Grizzlies from the list of endangered species in the Yellowstone area .

When the first arrest order expired around 5 pm, Judge Dana Christensen approved the two-week restraint order twice on Thursday morning hunting. At the Federal Hearing held at the end of last month, the US Fish and Wildlife Service decided to abolish federal protection measures against the high logs in and around Yellowstone National Park.

Mr. Andrea Santasarcie, a lawyer at the Biodiversity Center, said plaintiffs are concerned about the health of the whole bear group. According to the federal intergovernmental organization Grizzlies Research Group, 42 Grizzly Bears died in this area this year. This is compared with 26 in the same period last year.

She said that this incident also includes a way for the government to get rid of the protection of these giant logs.

"I think that the judge's statement here is a serious problem of whether plaintiffs can win one or all of these claims, so continuing the trophy search in making these decisions It is meaningless. "

Once these protections are lifted, Grizzlies are managed by the state. Wyoming's game and fish spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald said Wyoming is suitable for this mission

"Our Grizzly administration program protects the entire group of bears and we believe that our Grizzly management program will also enable a conservative hunting season."

Joe Kondelis, president of the Western Bear Foundation, agrees that this foundation is an organization promoting the hunting and protection of Grizzly Bear.

"The National Game Manager is a person who knows how to manage the species, it is not a federal government, it is not a judge of Missoula," he said.

Mr. Condelis said that Hunter is disappointed from the order of the judge, but said that if hunting continues, the number of bears will decline this year.

Approximately 700 grizzly bears, including parts of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, live in the Great Yellowstone ecosystem. Wyoming can capture up to 22 bears and Idaho can carry up to 1 bear. Montana has not approved the license this year

Some hunting plans in Idaho and Wyoming begin in September and the earliest hunting activities begin on 27th September.

In the Great Yellowstone ecosystem grizzly roaming, 34,000 square miles of national park, national forest, wildlife sanctuary, landscape of state and private land, Saturday from the Wyoming State and Idaho state hunting season in the middle of the hunting season. The federal judge approved a temporary restraining order to suspend hunting. In June 2017, the US Interior Minister 's Ryan Zinke and the Trump regime deprived the Endangered Species Protection Act from wandering around the grizzly inside and outside the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. This movement opened the way for grizzly hunting in Wyoming and Idaho. According to the proposal, you can shoot and kill more than 20 high-graffiti including up to 13 females.

In September 2018, federal judges restored the protection of high-graffiti inside the large Yellowstone ecosystem under the Endangered Species Protection Act. This decision was made after the US Fish and Wildlife Service revoked these protective measures in July 2017 or "delisted" these protective measures. This was the main decision on the management of the bear, and it canceled the hunting of Wyoming and Idaho in the state land. Fall in 2018. As usual, hunting is still banned at Yellowstone National Park
