Court Appeal Could Decide Fate of Grizzlies
In a recent article published by Rob Chaney of Missoulian, the federal government is trying to appeal a court ruling that denied the delisting of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem from Endangered Species Act protection.
The briefing is now pushed back to May 24 as it was originally supposed to take place on March 15.
If it wasn’t for the judge, Dana Christensen, rejecting the federal government’s proposal initially back in September, this would have spelled great doom for the grizzly species. Many grizzlies and a lot of bear species are already in danger of having their habitats destroyed and in danger of trophy hunters (poachers).
In the mission statement of the Bear With Us Foundation, we strive to help others learn about the educational benefits of these creatures and how they help ecosystems. Removing these bears from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem will absolutely alter the food chains and interfere with the process of natural selection.
While these species are in no way harming humans and disrupting their way of living, many people who hunt for the satisfaction of knowing they can execute these plans to kills these creatures find a reason to take part in it. It will be the honor of the organization to stand together with the Court of Appeals and those who are against the initial ruling made by Judge Christensen.
In conjunction with our last blog post about the upcoming educational tour that is being made possible from the funding and support of the annual charity event, the Bear With Us foundation would like to make a stop at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming during the tour to initiate a formal gathering for visitors to come visit the park and learn about the bear species, specifically the grizzly species in this case.
The organization will also have a formal gathering outside of where the Court of Appeals briefing will be taking place in hopes to influence the decision to uphold the initial ruling. Though we do feel very strongly about the conservation of bears and their habitats, this is not considered a protest.
The Bear With Us Foundation’s purpose is to stop at nothing to make sure these animals can prosper more and more each and every day. Taking them off of the Endangered Species Act program will most certainly not help that cause. Our supporters rely to much on our action that the organization cannot stand idly by and let this happen to these grizzly bears living in this ecosystem.
