Sign The Petition: Stop merciless trophy hunters from slaughtering bear cubs

Friend, innocent grizzly bears and bear cubs are being brutally slaughtered by vicious trophy hunters — and in several states, it’s completely legal. [Will you do something to stop the violent massacre of these helpless animals?]( The bloody carcass of a mangled grizzly bear was found just 14 miles outside of Yellowstone, and the helpless creature likely suffered unimaginable pain. These animals are completely defenseless and don’t understand the concept of state boundaries, so as soon as they set just a single furry paw across the park’s borders, they are fair game to be murdered violently by ruthless hunters. It’s no secret that corrupt politicians are in bed with the hunting lobby and Big Polluters. The Trump administration already gave trophy hunters a massive handout by scaling back critical Endangered Species Act Protections that kept bear cubs safe from being slayed inside their dens while sleeping. While precious bears and bear cubs are being mercilessly brutalized by trophy hunters, the GOP is still working overtime to REMOVE any remaining safeguards that these iconic animals have left. And now, the Biden administration just proposed its new revisions to the Endangered Species Act. Unfortunately, these revisions do NOT go far enough to restore life-saving ESA protections and still leave harmful portions of the Trump-era regulations in place. We MUST respond immediately by demanding ESA protections for grizzly bears before they are WIPED OUT forever – but the Biden administration is only hearing public comments until August 21, so we need activists like you to SPEAK UP NOW. [Can these treasured animals count on your voice today, Friend? Sign our petition now to help defend grizzly bears from cruel trophy hunters before it’s too late >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( When trophy hunters set out to kill harmless grizzly bears, they use horrific and inhumane methods. They will set out bait to lure hungry mama bears in, then choke them to death using neck snares or fire rounds of lead bullets, mutilating their bodies. Back at the den, orphaned bear cubs will wait for their mama’s return. Too weak to survive on their own, they will likely STARVE TO DEATH or DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA. Animals like grizzlies that are highly vulnerable to extinction cannot afford any scalebacks to the ESA, which is a critical tool that we have to fight the global extinction and biodiversity crisis, Friend. The federal government has a responsibility to protect vulnerable keystone species like grizzly bears against dangerous threats like vicious trophy hunters. But if we’re going to persuade the Biden administration to take bold action, we need environmentalists like you to step up in defense of these treasured mammals. If we can get 4,983 more signatures by 11:59 P.M., it will send a strong message that the public DEMANDS stronger ESA protections for one of the nation’s most cherished animals.
