“HUNTING THEM IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. WHY WOULD YOU HUNT A GRIZZLY BEAR?” ASKS ZAHN McCLARNON (“MATHIAS” FROM "LONGMIRE")
Not only Wyoming’s favorite sheriff, Walt Longmire, but his Cheyenne nemesis, Mathias, opposes the delisting and trophy hunting of grizzly bears in Craig Johnson’s Absaroka County, and in the REAL LIFE but often stranger-than-fiction State of Wyoming under Governor Matt Mead.
“Mathias is very protective of his people. He watches over his people and makes sure that things are done right, just like a mother grizzly bear would do who is very protective of her cubs. If you ever mess with a momma grizzly you’ll find out!” says McClarnon, who was raised in Blackfeet country. “I grew up in grizzly country,” he continues, “and so my experiences with bears are extremely personal because I grew up around them.”
“Hunting them is absolutely crazy. Why would you hunt a grizzly bear?” McClarnon, a star of Spielberg’s Into the West, asks. (http://www.goaltribal.org/…)
You can ask Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) the same thing. Wyoming’s latest slogan is, “We supply the trophies. You make the memories.” Delisting is all trophy hunting, all of the time for Wyoming, and WGFD and its advocates are sure that they will prevail and Yellowstone’s grizzlies will be trophy hunted in 2017. You may comment on Wyoming Game and Fish Commission’s Grizzly Bear Management Regulation (Chapter 67) until June 29 at 5:00pm. 
Comment and SEND THEM A REAL MESSAGE: please donate to GOAL Tribal Coalition’s “WHY?” billboard campaign to inform the millions of visitors to Greater Yellowstone that a tiny minority of trophy hunters are being giving preference over not only the largest tribal coalition in North America, but 99% of the American people. If you love Yellowstone, you need to keep ESA protections on the grizzly, for if you don’t, 2 MILLION ACRES of Greater Yellowstone will be served up to corporate interests, led by extractive industries. If you doubt it, read the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s small print in its grizzly delisting rule, which states that there are 28 mining claims with operating plans in the in heart of the 77% of grizzly habitat it will actually monitor post-delisting.
