There are many unsettling ties between the United States Fish & Wildlife Service and trophy hunting entities, such as Safari Club. This call to action seeks to expose those. This action also seeks to highlight director Dan Ashe's various statements regarding hunting and admission, in an email obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, that removing grizzlies from the Endangered Species List is not supported by the best available science.
FACE BOOK: Please investigate! I am concerned about the conflict of interest apparent in the process of removing Yellowstone area grizzly bears from the Endangered Species list. The Deputy Director charged with working with the tribes, Matt Hogan, is a trophy hunter, a former chief lobbyist for the Safari Club. If grizzlies are delisted, they will be subject to trophy hunting by surrounding states. #DontDelistGrizzlies
