Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, so far, in 2017, Donald Trump and the
Republicans have targeted women, immigrants, and health care. Now they
are setting their sights on bear cubs, wolves, and coyotes. Republicans, in cahoots with the gun lobby and with trophy hunters,
want to eliminate a rule that currently prohibits hunters from using
brutal means to kill our majestic animals in Alaska's 16 wildlife
refuges. This rule prevents snaring and trapping bears, including cubs,
hunting wolves in their dens, and shooting bears from helicopters,
among other methods. Now, those opposed to the rule say that it hurts Alaska's economy,
but there is no evidence of that.
