Judge blocks hunting of Yellowstone Grizzly Bears

[Catherine]

I checked and the hunt has been blocked for at least another two weeks. The judge is even weighing the idea of restoring federal protection to the bears.

I am glad there are enlightened judges in this world. The grizzly bears have finally gained enough numbers to be more secure as a species in the area. The area itself is showing some ecological stability. It doesn't make sense to do something to upset the balance again. Hunting will kill more than the normal number of bears that would be lost in a season and hunting will kill the best of the species. Hunters don't work like nature that lets the weaker animals die out. Hunting targets the best and the strongest. It is unnatural.

You are right about people being hurt or killed by hunters. Too often hunters shoot at anything that moves. They don't confirm their targets and people and other animals are injured. If hunting is allowed Yellowstone Park will have to be closed to tourists. That will not be popular. If it isn't closed some person is going to be shot by a hunter. It is inevitable.
