House Passes NRA-Backed Bill Legalizing the Killing of Bear Cubs in Wildlife Refuges:
"Environmental and animal rights groups have strongly condemned the bill. "Killing hibernating bears, shooting wolf pups in their dens, and chasing down grizzlies by aircraft and then shooting them on the ground is not the stuff of some depraved video game," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society. "It is exactly what Don Young is trying to restore on National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska. No decent person should support this appalling, despicable treatment of wildlife"."
