TALKING POINTS: CALL/EMAIL/FACEBOOK

I do not support the delisting of Yellowstone grizzly bears. Secretary Zinke needs to honor the mandatory pre-decision and meaningful government-to-government consultation with tribes over grizzly delisting. Members of Congress from BOTH parties have asked him to do so.

Climate change is impacting and is a threat to Yellowstone grizzly bears.

It is too soon to allow trophy hunting. We need the population to continue to grow and become genetically diverse.

We need to see the 2016 Inter Grizzly Bear Study Report (IGBST). Over the past three years, the Yellowstone grizzly bear population has been declining, with mortality at record high rates. Where is the report?

The States of WY, MT and ID do not have a good proven record of managing and protecting wildlife.
