The Biden administration is maintaining protections for grizzly bears in four Rocky Mountain states, despite pushback from Republican-led states. The US Fish and Wildlife Service will reclassify the grizzly's status, allowing ranchers to shoot bears that threaten livestock. Protections will be lifted in states where grizzlies are no longer found.
The Biden administration will continue protecting about 2,000 grizzly bears in four Rocky Mountain states despite objections from Republican-led states, U.S. wildlife officials said Wednesday. The Associated Press obtained details of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision in advance of a planned public announcement. Federal officials also said they will reclassify the grizzly’s status so that ranchers would be able to shoot bears that are killing livestock.
Officials also will end protections for the animals in states where they’re no longer found, including California, Colorado, New Mexico and Oregon
