Donald Trump Is Getting Sued Over Repeal of Wildlife Protection Rule

An environmental organization is suing the Trump administration because he repealed a wildlife protection rule.

A few years ago, I was in a Bell 212 helicopter. The doors were off, and we were flying to a wildfire near Kinbasket Lake, just outside of a little mountain town called Golden, British Columbia. The sun was just rising over the jagged, snow-capped horizon and in the early morning light, the lake glittered a few thousand feet below. As we flew low along a ridgeline, a bear and three of her cubs spooked and ran out from under their cover, barreling through a narrow strip of grass just a few feet from the cliff’s edge. The narrow strip opened into a mountain-top meadow sprayed with tiny yellow and purple flowers, and the bears charged through it until they hit the tree line and disappeared into the shadows. It was fucking beautiful. Why am I telling you that story? Well now–if that happened in Alaska–because of President Trump’s repeal of a wildlife protection rule, I could have leaned out the side of the 212 and shot them before they got away. Pow! Right in the kisser!
