Montana wildlife commission rejects trap check and bear spray petitions
Original: Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission rejects trap check, bear spray petitions
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission has voted to reject two citizen petitions, one calling for more frequent trap checks and another related to bear spray requirements. The decision means the proposed rule changes will not move forward under the commission's current agenda. The petitions had been pushed by wildlife and conservation advocates concerned about trapping practices and safety measures in bear country. Reactions from supporters and opponents of the measures are expected to shape further debate over wildlife management policy in the state.
Why now: Wildlife advocates and outdoor groups are reacting to the commission's refusal to advance petitions on trapping rules and bear safety.
