Grizzly hunt pits tourists against trophy hunters in Wyoming
'"No one is killing a grizzly bear to eat it," said Melissa Thomasma, the executive director of Wyoming Wildlife Advocates, which opposes the hunt. '
'Environmental groups have also resorted to what hunters consider dirty tricks to stymie the proposed kill, including trying to acquire some of the licenses granted to would-be bear hunters. '
'Wildlife officials in Wyoming last year killed at least 14 grizzly bears that attacked livestock or threatened humans. '
'This would be the first grizzly bear hunt in the lower 48 states since the 1970s, when the bears’ numbers fell so low scientists worried they could become extinct. '
'Correction and clarification: A prior version of this story misspelled the name of Tom Mangelsen and misstated one of the groups suing to reinstate protections for grizzly bears. '
