As if opening up wildlife refuges to mineral and petroleum extraction and bee-killing inseciticides isn't enough damage, the Trump Regime has removed the functional "refuge" from 1.4 MILLION acres of former wildlife refuges across the U.S, with plans for even more "deregulation".

Bears and Wolves, Moose and Elk, often the targets of oligarchs who can afford private helicopters and ultra-tech weaponry, have been open-season since 2018, even dens with nursing mothers are not safe.

Spoiled Brat fake hunter Donald Trump Jr. applauded the action on twitter, while visiting Boy Scouts in a Wildlife Refuge, encouraging them to hunt.

Many of the former-refuges will be open for "hunting" for the first time ever.
Wyoming is already losing its wilderness due to exploration and new roads built by the Trump deregulation
for oil and gas in these same areas.

Do not even attempt to defend this action. Bush, Reagan, Nixon, all had sound environmental and conservation
policies. Trump is totally unlike any other before him in his absolute disregard for nature.

The plan affects 1.4 million acres on federal public lands, including 74 national wildlife refuges, U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said.

Like all Trump adminstration appointments, the Secretary is a lobbyist for the industry that opposes protections.
Bernhardt's career was with the oil and gas industry, he is now in charge of removing protections for the Dept of Interior
that stood for generations.

I've said that I would give Trump credit when he did something good, and it looks like this is probably one of those times.

Hunters are some of the best environmentalists and wildlife stewards and its supposed to be a bad thing to open up these regions to them?

Gotta hand that stuff over to the foreigners that we owe lots of imaginary money to. Trump shows again that he's totally on board with globalist Agenda 21 2030. It's a shame we won't be allowed to ever go there though.

The real question is how exactly did the federal government come to "own" land in the first place? The federal government is a corporation based within the city limits of Washington DC.

''Bears and Wolves, Moose and Elk, often the targets of oligarchs who can afford private helicopters and ultra-tech weaponry, have been open-season since 2018, even dens with nursing mothers are not safe. ''

Better to address these issues through the hunting rules 'code book' , this land is not legally or constitutionally
the governments, they need to give it back.
