“I sympathize with a rancher that’s defending livestock from predators, absolutely,” Jackson filmmaker Shane Moore told the working group. “But that’s a far different issue than allowing the public to joyride on snowmobiles and torture wildlife legally on public lands [...]"

“The low-hanging fruit is that you could make ‘whacking’ — the torturing and killing of animals with motor vehicles — illegal,” [local resident Kelly] Ravner said. “Whacking is not fair-chase. It is not hunting, and it has no place in actual wildlife management.”
