Considering how people and the environment have already lost protections, the animals were obviously next.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

What the hell. Who gets enjoyment out of hunting bears that are hibernating? That is not a hunting for sport that is straight up wrong.

 

[Usobuko]

How do I displace my masculinity if I'm not hunting animals with guns?

 

[____]

Guess they need a bear on their wall. Fucking assholes.

Heyyyy....those guys look like Tru-

Oh.

 

[tkscz]

This is some petty shit right here. I don't care if he promised to overturn ever bill made into law during Obama's terms, this is a stupid law to overturn. First, most hunters hunt for sport and wouldn't hunt a bear that's sleeping. Secondly, the ones that do aren't hunters, they're poachers, which is illegal. Is there no level of pettiness this man want reach?

 

[Max_Po]

okay that's it... I can't see animals hurt .... these sons of bitches need to goo.......

 

[Redd]

Killing Hibernating Bears. What kind of person......this world depresses me.

 

[Somnid]

The article does point out that most of this is illegal in Alaska anyway, but they didn't like that the Fed was also telling them what to do.

 

[jb1234]

He's such a petty cunt. I bet it drives him crazy that he wasn't able to overturn Obama's biggest legacy, the ACA.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

What problems did sleeping bears cause?

 

[Living the Dream]

I hate humanity

 

[Rutti]

But what if they wake up a bear without being able to kill it? We know where it leads to:

Spoiler

Fuck Trump and co. Leave those bears alone.

 

[Lorcain]

I'm trying to imagine the kind of mindset needed to be ok killing a bear in their sleep. It's fucking sociopathic.

 

[TatteredHat]

Guess they need a bear on their wall. Fucking assholes.

I hope that guy realizes he looks like a psychopath standing there with an elephant's severed tail in his hand. But I doubt it.

 

[soundscream]

Obama regulation = delete

 

[PanicFreak]

What does this accomplish? What is the fucking point in doing this?

For sport. You see an Obama era regulation, you shoot it.

 

[Wilsongt]

What does this accomplish? What is the fucking point in doing this?

Some guy in NC literally came up with a lost of every Obama regulation and legislation that he wanted to repeal. Trump is going down that list.

It's essentially a way for thr GOP to completely wipe the Obama presidency off of the legislative books.

 

[Netherscourge]

What does this accomplish? What is the fucking point in doing this?

He wants to bring back the Bear Pelt trade.

 

[old manatee]

hahahahahahahaha hahahahjajajajajkkks


jfc

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Trump is literally just signing anything that repeals what Obama did lol

 

[Polioliolio]

Hope he's mauled in his sleep by a fucking bear.

 

[RuGalz]

so his kids needed new excitements ...

 

[Any Questions]

What? You're telling me Donald Trump is an unconscionable cunt of a human being?!

I shouldn't laugh but i did

 

[RPGCrazied]

I wish we could assemble a task force to protect animals, since the federal government no longer will.

 

[HeelPower]

Guess they need a bear on their wall. Fucking assholes.

lol

This cannot be real. It really is something out of the simpsons.

Since majestic animals don't deserve such treatment...

 

[Apathy]

His shitty son can go kill a sleeping bear now

 

[JaseMath]

What a fucking asshole. This makes me really angry.

 

[Paltheos]

I'm interested. What's the rationale behind this? In case one finds a sleeping bear nearby and considers it a future threat? Or is this simply an ideological choice made in favor of smaller federal oversight?

 

[yyr]

I actually clicked the link and read the article.

This passage wasn't about hibernating bears or animal cruelty at all. It was about the state of Alaska wanting to regulate themselves, rather than have the federal government put regulations on them. This was Alaskans basically saying, "screw you, we'll regulate ourselves."

The deeper issue all along was state vs. federal control of wildlife management. Despite support from scientific, environmental, and animal welfare advocacy groups, the federal restrictions were considered intrusive and unwarranted by many Alaskans. The state filed a lawsuit in January 2017 contending that the rules amounted to federal overreach, harming the ecosystem and citizens of Alaska. With the support of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Safari Club International, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) introduced H.J. Res. 69 in February 2017 to redress what he termed a “wrongful seizure of authority”:

Most of the practices mentioned are also already banned under Alaska law.

Yes, on the surface this just sounds like more Trump fuckery, but I'm sure many of us know someone who responds to things with "fuck you, don't tell me what to do" and this is one of those cases.

 

[madstarr12]

This is Beary Bad. Deplorable!

 

[TheCochese]

What does this accomplish? What is the fucking point in doing this?

Lets his son pretend he's a man.

 

[Formless]

Any respectable hunter should be appalled by this -- no way to keep the populations healthy or get a satisfying kill.

 

[StarVigil]

Sometimes the world really is orange and black.

 

[Pics_nao]

You snooze you lose.

Jesus, fuck. I'm crying now.

 

[AGoodODST]

Isn't hunting meant to be a sport?

Where is the "sport" in shooting and killing a sleeping animal like a bear? It's just shooting a huge stationary target.

You snooze you lose.

This got me haha

 

[David___]

NO HONOR

 

[Berordn]

Can't kill healthcare, so we're gonna kill a sleeping bear instead.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Uh what's bad about this? Better to get them while they sleep before they eat us. We've already had some come into schools and eat our children. We need to be preventive.

 

[mclem]

 

[Darkstorne]

Literally WTF. Anyone who kills a hibernating bear is a fucking monster.

I just want equal opportunity. Legalize the hunting of hunters and I'll be so fucking happy. It's not like humans are endangered, so hunters can't complain without being massive hypocrites.

 

[friskykillface]

You snooze you lose.

Lol
I wish Trump wrote this on the bill

Oh Trump you dummy

 

[HiiiLife]

What will he think of next

 

[| Praxis |]

What an absolute cunt, along with trophy hunters. Pieces of human trash.

 

[mclem]

Can't kill healthcare, so we're gonna kill a sleeping bear instead.

He heard something about warning against "Awakening the sleeping bear", and completely misunderstood it.

 

[explodet]

Most of the practices mentioned are also already banned under Alaska law.

Most but not all.

The Feds banned a couple of hunting practices including:

• baiting brown bears to draw them to hunters and shooting them;
• shooting bears ensnared in traps;
• shooting bears and wolves in their dens with their cubs or pups;
• gunning bears and wolves from airplanes

Now Alaska may not be slaughtering cubs, but they will probably be bringing back aerial shooting.

 

[titiklabingapat]

His own sons are proud of killing wildlife in Africa. What did you really expect? The apple doesn't really fall far from the tree.

 

[shem935]

What purpose does that have?!?

Regulation=Bad

 

[Malreyn]

What purpose does that have?!?

Maybe its strictly for his sons to go kill some bears and pose over its dead corpse to show their buddies how awesome they are at killing living things.

 

[Kimawolf]

What a idiot. Literally just doing the opposite of Obama. We need him qnd his stooges gone.

 

[IamDodongo]

Seriously every thing these guys do is awful.
