Bill introduced by Michigan congressman would ban bear baiting on federal lands
Published: , in Outdoor News
A Michigan congressman wants to ban bear baiting on federal lands, claiming the practice puts the public and bears in danger, though sportsmen aren’t taking the proposal seriously.
“The practice of bear baiting creates danger for both people and animals, contradicting what federal agencies tell the public: do no feed the bears,” Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Detroit, said in a statement. “This bill is about strengthening public safety, animal welfare, and responsible wildlife management.”
