Stop the Grizzly Bear Hunting
While there is no hunting in Katmai National Park, if bears wander outside of the park boundaries they can be shot. Attached to every National Park in Alaska, is a “preserve” where hunting is allowed. This fall, habituated bears in Katmai Preserve were hunted. Journalists captured this slaughter on film, and it caused quite an uproar in Alaska






this is disturbing.. =(
Stop this crazyness, you stupid and disrespectfull humans!!
Hey, nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Keep up the good work!
People who say we shouldn’t hunt grizzlies should go to Alaska and live near the bears. Let’s see how long you last. Or, you can just shut the hell up unless you actually know what you’re talking about.
I’m just curious since these bears are not endangered.
Was the animal pictured taken legally? From the looks of the pic, the bear was shot once and then the hunter(s) posed with for a few pics.
I don’t see anything resembling inhumane slaughter.
I doubt it caused much of an uproar in Alaska, except among the already avid anti-hunters…all both of them.
this is, disturbing, yet unreal looking. i dont know, it just doesnt look real at all.
I do not see a dman thing wrong with hunting bears or any other animal for that matter. These aniumals will take over if not controlled. This will happen at the risk of thier own species. Also, this bear seems to have been taken in a hunted humane manner. No problems here. For those of you who this troubles….enjoy your capicino…..the bear wont care if you do not like hunting. They will eat your ass too…
you know whats the most ignorant about this is the people commenting saying there is nothing wrong with hunting bears!! are you kidding me?? there is nothing wrong with murdering something just to see if you could??? yeah sure if a bear is attacking your family kill it by all means,but to actually have a set up place, right outside a place they are protected, just to kill them for fun is pretty messed up and yes very disturbing you americans and your shoot to kill anything that moves says nothing about bravery or makes you any sort of a man/woman i want anything to do with. Here in Canada we take pride in our nations animals and only permit to kill when they are out of control which is only ever Deer and you must use all of the deer.
Bears are magnificant and beautiful creatures and i hardly think they are over populated they are actually almost extinct. and noone asked you to move to there habitat and take over killing off their food supply and forcing them to communities. but i guess driving people/creatures out of their own land is an american specialty.
@ Jaq, Way to stereotype.
Please< feel free to learn more about hunting and Americans before you make generalizations about people and activities that you clearly do not understand.
Thank you.
An American hunter .
First off, this is a Kodiak Bear and the location of the shoot is not in Katmai. This shot was taken in the Kodiak Islands. And it was a legal hunt. Whoever posted this made up the story. Besides, Alaskan’s would not be appalled by these kinds of events.
HAHA A Canadian complaining about American hunters while they slaughter gross numbers of baby seals simply for their fur. Besides that I am against bear hunting as if we haven’t caused enough damage on their species as well as the rest on this planet but that is nature.
@jaq
A canadian speaking for all of us…GO TO HELL. You may have your views but don’t try and say “Canadians don’t want hunting”. Only a handful of save everything from death do and you are usually intellectually challenged as is obvious by your lame arguments.
I hunt, I fish and OMG I even eat meat.
Of course all the anti-killing people must be vegetarians, and never kill: mosquitoes, wasps, fleas, silverfish, cockroaches, rats, mice…..
Dahm, those were some great pics. if i could down a bear that size i would be smiling too. check the size of those claws and paws. awsome dude. I think the people that whine about this pic should be vegetarians. they maybe think that Windys and Wardys or other fast food places and grocery stores use some special meat that comes from veggies. Man if i could get a bear like that i would. way to go man
this is not a big deal. start worrying about people dieing for no reason instead of a few bears.
One thing is to kill to protect family, friends, neighbours… if someone´s in risk. Other thing is to enjoy killing, feel absolute pleasure in take the animal´s life (that could be a female that might left her babies all alone). At least animals kill/attack when they feel threatned or when they´re hungy, humans are the only one species capable to feel pleasure with the animal suffering!…
As usual, human beings can be selfish, ignorant and intolerant towards others human beings and animals. Sad…
You know what would be really great? Hunting those guys! Yeah, that’d be sweet.
They killed a bear. What is wrong with that? Good for them. Get over it and stop trying to control others. You probably have not even seen a bear except for in a zoo. Idiots try to put humans on the same level as bears.
This is sick. It just goes to show how cruel the human species is. It doesn’t matter if these bears are not endangered, what gives us the right to invade their territory and kill them? It’s murder. Bloody murder.
I hope one day all hunters drop dead. It’ll do some good for this planet.
We must kill all the shit hunters
I would not mind killing those douche bags like they did that poor bear! ROT IN HELL YOU INHUMANE IDIOTS!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO NOT DESERVE THE AIR YOU BREATHE!!! Now go die somewhere, i hope some big ass bear eats the lot of you and you die a painful death.
