## Resource

Alaska’s Fish and Game is rolling out a controversial predator control program, having killed 254 brown bears—including cubs—claiming it’ll save caribou, but refusing independent science review, blocking field observers, and even rejecting a managed reindeer herd that could actually help food security. Behind the “trust the science” rhetoric? A political show of force that’s more about killing bears and wolves than conservation.
