Hunters in Alaska are allowed to kill bears from helicopters again – but only to save caribou
From The-Independent.com:
Alaska wildlife agents have been given the green light to resume shooting black and brown bears, including from helicopters, as part of a controversial programme aimed at restoring a vital caribou herd.
A judge ruled on Wednesday against two conservation groups, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance and Center for Biological Diversity, who sought to halt the cull. Superior Court Judge Adolf Zeman stated the groups failed to demonstrate the state lacked a reasonable basis for the plan.
