ESA Griz Defense Changes Redundant

Here’s a link to my full story at spokesman.com on how both of Idaho’s U.S. senators and North Idaho’s congressman introduced legislation today to amend the Endangered Species Act to clarify that it’s OK to shoot a grizzly bear in self-defense or in defense of another person, in response to the Jeremy Hill incident. However, the law already says that - in the very next section after the one the new bill would amend. A spokesman for Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo said the bill would “bolster” that provision, but a national species conservation group called it “simply political grandstanding”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here.
