Alaska are killing these bears and WOLVES! 😢 Alaska officials on Tuesday resurrected a controversial bear-killing program aimed at boosting caribou numbers.
The Alaska Board of Game, convening in a special meeting in Anchorage on the subject, authorized the state Department of Fish and Game to restart the program that has already killed 186 brown bears, five black bears and 20 wolves.
The bear-killing program has been mired in controversy since it began.
It was originally authorized by the Board of Game in early 2022, but critics said that board members circumvented normal public processes when they granted that approval. The first bear kills were carried out in 2023. That year and the following year, 175 brown bears were killed through aerial shooting, along with five black bears and 19 wolves, according to the department
