GOP wants to make it legal to gas wolf-pups in their den... in wildlife refuges.

In its zeal to repeal, the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to overturn a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule forbidding the baiting, trapping and “denning” of bears and wolves in Alaska’s national wildlife refuges.

The Senate is poised to consider the resolution as soon as next week.

Distilled to its essence, Alaska’s politicians want to reduce bear and wolf populations so hunters will have more moose and caribou to kill.

...

The sheer savagery of what would become lawful if the Senate falls prey to its companion resolution ( Senate Joint Resolution 18) should give pause to anyone with a heartbeat.

Hunters could scout grizzlies from the air and then be deposited on the ground to kill them. (Aerial shooting is still forbidden.) They could hunt wolves during denning season, either shooting a mother wolf, thus dooming her babies, or entering the den and killing all, frequently with gas. Hunters could also bait, trap or snare, causing an agonizing death usually exacerbated by freezing temperatures. The traps are steel-jawed. A snare is a wire that wraps around an animal’s neck, then tightens as it tries to pull away.

It would be legal to strangle and gas puppies to death. In a so-called wildlife-refuge.

1. That's no surprise. They want to kill off the poor and middle class too, so that's no surprise.

2. SOOOOO tempting to make the obvious comment........

But I'm sure I'd be exceeding some kind of bounds of decorum.

3. Monsters

Just wicked.

5. Typical republican cruelty. NT

7. Can we gas GOP'ers in their bedrooms

pipe their car exhaust directly into their bedroom, after disabling their carbon monoxide detector of course, and just shoot the rest because they're so f*cking annoying.

8. It's a nice, wicked dream, isn't it?

It would go far to MAGA.

But no, murder isn't permitted, even though they are trying to kill us.

9. Republicans are just sickening.

And selfish and totally living in another age.

They don't care at all how what they do affects others or the planet.

The article states that more people go to Alaska to SEE the wildlife, NOT to hunt. So just what is the point of this at all? To satisfy a few sick fucks is all. (sorry for the language but this really disgusts me.)

10. Good thing they're pro-life or we'd REALLY be in trouble!

[Ilsa]

11. Wouldn't it be great to

Put bunches of these republicans on an island, just lots of guns and ammo and no wildlife to shoot for pleasure? No healthcare except OTC stuff and First Aid kits. Make sure the fresh water has a thick film of chemical residue on top and heavy metals settled on the bottom. Every morning there would be a cloud of smog hovering over the island. They could plenty of gold there to hoard.

Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham would be the first they kill to cannibalize because they're so useless.

12. Just when I think I couldn't have any more contempt for that bunch of heartless sociopaths

they come after innocent wolf puppies. Sick bastards.

[Vinca]

13. I have never hated a group of people like I hate the GOP. Heartless bastards.

They want to kill everything but the filthy rich and their piles of money.

14. I really hate those motherfuckers

BTW I have huynted and fished for years too.
