00:00This is absolutely outrageous. Our national parks and reserves have always had special
00:21status and the Trump administration wants to roll that back, essentially making them
00:28into game parks.

01:04on states' rights.
01:18Trapping brown and black bears with steel jawed traps that shut on the animal's leg
01:24leaving them to suffer indefinitely. And shooting bears from aircraft. Many of these practices
01:30violate fair chase ethical standards established and used by sportsmen across the country.
