Grizzlies are still in the political spotlight.
Grizzly bears are back in the political spotlight—again. This week, the House Natural Resources Committee gave a green light to Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman’s Grizzly Bear State Management Act, which aims to strip Yellowstone-area grizzlies of their endangered status. Ranchers like Reg Phillips say it’s long overdue, claiming the region is bursting with bears on the move. Next stop: a full House vote, then the Senate, and potentially President Trump’s desk. But don’t expect it to go quietly—environmental groups are still digging in their claws to keep federal protections in place.
