What a waste — poaching grizzly bears for their claws!
In the past month, two Montana grizzly bears have been found dead, their claws removed.
According to the Great Falls Tribune, the latest kill turned up Oct. 18 on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The first was found Oct. 1 on the Lewis and Clark National Forest.
The black market for grizzly claws must be lucrative, indeed, for people to risk poaching bears. Killing a griz in the lower 48 states is a violation of the federal Endangered Species Act.
Here’s hoping they find the perpetrators. And throw the book at ‘em.
