What is Obama's plan for...

Like most of what Congress passes, this Act would do nothing.

From the artice:

"Legislation introduced today would protect wolves, bears, and other wildlife from the illegal and inhumane practice of airborne hunting."

IOW - it will make something that is already illegal illegal.


"The new bill would close a loophole in federal law that Alaska officials have exploited to permit individual hunters to shoot and kill nearly 700 wolves from aircraft in the past four years.... officials in Alaska have licensed people to shoot hundreds of wolves from aircraft under the guise of wildlife management and predator control..."

But - "The PAW Act makes it clear that states can only conduct activities prohibited by the Airborne Hunting Act to respond to legitimate biological and other emergencies..."

IOW - they will stop Alaska from using a loophole to control the wolf population by including the same loophole in the Act.

Democrats and liberals just want more laws passed - even if they change nothing. More symbolism over substance.
