The U.S. Senate has voted 52 to 47 to overturn a law that forbids the hunting of wild animals that are in hibernation.
The regulations enforced by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) were put in place to prevent excessive hunting, protect animals during the hibernation phase, and stop the killing of mothers and their offspring.
The new law allows hunters to use unfair practices, e.g. baiting hungry bears with food to shoot them at close range, and entering wolf and bear dens to slaughter entire families.
It also removes the prohibition on hunting from the air (shooting animals from an airplane or helicopter).
All of these hunting methods were formerly banned.
“What the Senate did today should outrage the conscience of every animal lover in America,” stated Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
The protective measures were enacted during the previous administration.
The new U.S. administration has left the most vulnerable creatures in the country almost completely unprotected.

That is a picture of Dr Gabor Mate. He did not shoot anything while hibernating. You should read his books they are really great.

^^Exactly, I find it hard to believe this man shot anything.
Barbaric,how can anyone hunt these magnificent animals……cowards the lot of them!!
Virgina, won’t you go hibernate with them? Maybe you’ll get your head mualed the fuck off, damn tree huggin’ wench.
I assume that the idiot above means fuck peta, unless he has something against the food. Hunters are all cowards, I don’t care whether they are hibernating or not, you are all a bunch of pussies.
