I don't call it civil disobedience when no laws are broken.
Lots of people buy licenses (maybe not $600 licenses) and never make it into the woods, it's just not often that they do it on purpose.
And it might help finance game management in WY.
The protesters are paying $5 if residents to enter the lottery, the majority probably pay the $15 nonresident fee. If they win the lottery, they pay $600 resident or $6000 nonresident for the permit. I'm sure the Game and Fish Commission will base the number of permits issued next year on the success rate of this year's permit holders.
So the only thing I see happening is more money to the Commission and a few less brown bears harvested in the opening year.
What “stunned me” was this part:
“This story is part of Women of Impact, a National Geographic project centered around women breaking barriers in their fields, changing their communities, and inspiring action.”
Soo-prise, soo-prise.
