Donald Trump Jr has been granted the right to hunt a grizzly bear in north-western Alaska near the Bering Sea town of Nome, a state official says.

The son of US president Donald Trump was one of three people who applied for 27 spots for non-resident hunters targeting grizzlies in a designated region of north-western Alaska’s Seward Peninsula, said Eddie Grasser, the wildlife conservation director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

The state conducts periodic drawings for permits to hunt bears, caribou, moose and other animals in various regions. Winners are chosen by a lottery, and there are typically many more applications than hunting tags awarded.

“We get thousands of applications,” Grasser said on Friday. Whether anyone wins came down to “pure chance, luck of the draw”.

[SunSeeker]

10. The fact that the Trumps are in the White House and not in jail...

...must mean there is no God.

[Faux pas]

45. My thoughts

exactly!

[smirkymonkey]

70. +1000

In a "grizzly" way.

[IcyPeas]

6. Why do people do this

[CentralMass]

7. On the postive side grizzly bears have been clocked running as fast as 35mph.

[MFM008]

8. He needs

An antler right in the gut.
What a vile family.

[SunSeeker]

9. Fucking evil asshole.

[wendyb-NC]

11. What a rotten piece of shit.

I can't think of a more vile, useless human being, except the rest of his family.

[5X]

12. may the force be with the grizzly. n/t

[Raster]

14. Make. It. So.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

13. I'm rooting for the bear.

The image of Don Jr. turned into a rug for the bear's den pleases me to no end.

[aka-chmeee]

52. Would be kind of a mangy looking rug, but

that head over the fireplace would ruin the aesthetics of any room.

[forgotmylogin]

67. +1 I was ready to type the exact same thing! (n/t)

[Grokenstein]

15. Luck of the draw, my ass.

So who's going to trank and tie down the grizz so Butt-Head can stand over it and shoot it to compensate for his, eh, shortcomings.

[democratisphere]

16. THIS is the Republican Presidential candidate for 2024.

IT must be stopped NOW for the sake of wildlife! This idiot is as BIG a psycopath as his ugly father.

[Scarsdale]

17. How much did the permit cost taxpayers?

How much will THIS trip cost the treasury? Mnuchin wants to keep all the expenses this family runs up secret until AFTER the election. We should DEMAND to see them NOW. They take business trips overseas, paid for by taxpayers, yet claim to be "rich". Useless, the entire family.

[3Hotdogs]

18. First sentence, change keen to assholic and the sentence is accurate.

[Submariner]

19. I hope Trump is mauled

and is shredded into chewable pieces for grizzly cubs.

[NurseJackie]

20. Many share your feelings.

[58Sunliner]

22. Touche.

[sinkingfeeling]

21. I hope the grizzly wins.

[Botany]

23. I hope Jr. drops his $10,000 rifle with its $500 scope, and $10.00 a round ammo into a river as ...

... this come out of the bush. And I hope the bear ... I gotta stop.

[Calista241]

65. A good optic is as expensive or more so than the rifle.

[BlueStater]

24. I hope a bear tears his loathsome ass to pieces.

Disgusting puke.

[marble falls]

25. Can someone issue the grizlies some kind of permit, too?

[ManiacJoe]

53. No permit needed if

someone is stupid enough to get too close to the bear.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Maybe he can kill a tame bear like Gentry of Montgomery Gentry did.

Maybe he can kill a tame bear like Gentry of Montgomery Gentry did.

A real he-man.

[llmart]

27. As if I couldn't hate this family more...

We all know very well that the bear will have no chance. Someone else will lure it out in the open, maybe fence it in, and hand the gun to dumbass so he can finish it off.

Keen hunter my lily white ass.

Gawd, I hate these people.

[kacekwl]

28. Permit, he don't need no stinking permit.

Luck of the draw my ass.

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. I HATE this MFer.

[catbyte]

30. Fucking lowlife.

[bronxiteforever]

31. (Silent scream) This family kills everything it can.

[Coventina]

32. Trophy hunters are the scum of the earth.

Somehow, he's even scummier.

My apologies to scum.

[Timmygoat]

33. How about

This idiot carrying a gun along with our military. The Trump's are cowards along with Trump's grandfather who was thrown out of his own country for cowardice when he refused to do the mandatory military service there.
It is not a sign of bravery to kill an innocent animal, those animals are worth dozens of Trump's.
I know who I would save if I had a choice.

[keithbvadu2]

50. Donald Trump Jr not serve in Army

Donald Trump Jr not serve in Army

[dalton99a]

34. NEXT: Donald Trump Jr granted permit to shoot polar bears from helicopter

[LudwigPastorius]

59. Nah.. He and his dad figure, why kill them one at a time, when...

you can destroy their habitat and kill ALL of them?

[turbinetree]

35. I can't wait for this POS to be brought back into the House and explain his lying ass...............

fucking traitor...................................

Time to go into the streets..............................November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough...................

[packman]

36. Give him a knife and let him try to kill that bear in hand-to-paw combat

THAT I wouldn't object too. Standing a 1/4 mile off with a high powered rifle (and probably having a few Secret Service agents with the same type of gun) THAT I object too.

[Withywindle]

61. It doesn't count as a "sport"

unless, at least theoretically, there's a fair chance either side could win.

Team Grizzly all the way!

[Jamastiene]

37. There are not enough words to describe how much I despise

trophy hunters and the Trump family. He is both. I hope the grizzlies see him coming and flank him. #TeamGrizzlies

[bluestarone]

38. SAD but he will never get mauled!

He will be surrounded by 10 hunters that will protect his ASS if the bear attacks him! PITIFUL fucker for sure!!

[Canoe52]

39. I'm fine with Jr going up against a grizzly, as long as he leaves the rifle at home

and it’s hand to paw, no weapons...

[Lonestarblue]

40. I'm rooting for the bears to hunt Jr.

A fitting end to this despicable human being.

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. Does Don Junior get Secret Service protection? Would THEY have to shoot an attacking...

grizzly to save him?

Asking for a friend.

[oldsoftie]

54. Yes & probably yes

[Brother Buzz]

74. Junior has a history of ditching the Secret Service

He parked his Secret Service detail in a Trump hotel in Vancouver when he went after his Stone Sheep trophy in British Colombia.

[kimbutgar]

42. My fantasy is the bear mauls him and then eats him

[burrowowl]

62. Not eat him, don't want the poor bear to get sick!

[kimbutgar]

68. Ha ha

[dhill926]

43. I support the right to arm bears....

[Bayard]

44. Everything trump(s) touches, dies

I've never understood the need to kill animals you're not going to eat.

And I support the right to arm bears.

[rickford66]

46. Isn't there a Right To Arm Bears ?

I apologize if it was noted earlier.

[Dem2theMax]

47. May the bear win!

[Pachamama]

48. Disgusting....

In a just world, those animals could do the same to Dotard Jr.

[susanr516]

49. I'm rooting for the bears

I'd also be fine if Jr. fell through a hole in the ice.

[Under The Radar]

51. Open carry for Bears in Alaska

[Baked Potato]

55. Foul excuse for humans, the whole lot

[Peregrine Took]

56. What a pathetic excuse he is for a "man." n/t

[LudwigPastorius]

58. I think I'll have a cocktail and rewatch a certain scene from "The Revenant".

...and let my imagination roam freely.

[FakeNoose]

66. Yep! I was thinking the same thing

Grizzlies are considered the most dangerous animal in North America, am I right?

[Luciferous]

60. It would be some sweet karma if the bears got him instead...

[ibegurpard]

63. Go bears!

[yuiyoshida]

64. Here's hoping the BEARS win...

[smirkymonkey]

69. I could not possibly hate anyone more.

What kind of sick fuck does this kind of thing?

And he is sitting there pleased as punch with his child in back of a dead, innocent animal that he killed. What on earth is wrong with these people?!

[zanana1]

71. Alaska Grizzly Bear granted permit to hunt Donald Trump Jr.

[lagomorph777]

72. Guess what? Bears don't need a permit to hunt humans.

It'd be a shame if he ended up in a bear's belly.

But Turd Junior is probably too toxic to taste good.
