I recall the various actions of the State to allow bear hunting just outside the sanctuary.  I was working in Anchorage in the mid-1990s when this action by the State made national news.  A network news anchor asked a State Fish and Game guy "Why allow these bears to be hunted?"

The Fish and Game guy came back with "Them bears aren't going to live forever.  You can't put them all in zoos."

Since this idiocy came on national news, there was a verbal outcry across the nation to shut this down. 

Years later, Fairbanks own neo-con Ford dealer Ralph Seekins did get another hunt going.  This was "successful" in that bears from McNeil River were shot and killed.  And many, many Alaskans want this:  kill all the game, screw the tourists.  Witness the dopes we have in the State Senate, and puke. 

Here is an article on the shame at Healy:
