Hunting of Yellowstone Parks grizzly bears was supposed to start this weekend. The Grizzly Bears have been protected for more than 40 years. This year hunting licences have been issued and bears were going to die.
At the last minute a federal judge has blocked the hunt.

It has taken years to build an ecological balance in Yellowstone National Park. Opening the area to hunting will undo decades of work. It is setting things back by decades. The hunt was protested and it is fortunate that a judge has responded.
It is a temporary injunction, but a lot can happen in 14 days. The hunt should not be happening. Yellowstone is a place that was set aside for nature to survive and thrive. It goes against the whole idea of Yellowstone to allow hunting in the park.
It would certainly make it unsafe for human tourists as well as the resident wildlife.
