The Trump administration has directed national recreation areas, seashores, wildlife refuges and other public lands to immediately lift dozens of restrictions on hunting and trapping, internal Interior Department documents show. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/c...

“Internal Interior Department documents show parks are imposing sweeping changes like expanding areas where firearms can be used and allowing game to be cleaned in restrooms.” Game cleaning in restrooms? We don’t have staff to clean restrooms in our national parks. Depraved.

Finally, a return to common sense management of our public lands. Hunters and anglers have been the backbone of wildlife conservation in America for generations — they fund most habitat work through licenses, Pittman-Robertson excise taxes, and voluntary efforts.

Treating federal lands as 'closed unless we say so' created unnecessary barriers and ignored state wildlife agencies that actually know local populations.

The 2026 midterms will be the real test. If the generic ballot holds at +20 for Dems among Independents, then yeah, switching would be political suicide.

Responsible, science-based hunting and trapping helps control overpopulated species, reduces disease/vehicle collisions, and keeps ecosystems balanced. This isn't about 'slaughter' — it's about active stewardship instead of letting bureaucrats micromanage from D.C

"May 1, the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Louisiana eliminated a section that declared that all reptile species, including turtles and alligators, are protected in the park." nah sounds like slaughter is legal now.

MAGA want to ruin nature because they will never have peace, only chaos and dysfunctional behavior. And, they want to ruin our journey where peace finds some of the rest of us. Narcissists gonna do this, all the time….all the time.

77 million slow motion suicidal dumdums voted to put predator and sociopath in charge of running the country. Melania Trump should be legally compelled to gut and skin a deer in the new Rose Garden.
