  "summary": "A new Trump administration rule permits hunters to bait bears on federal lands in Alaska using human foods such as bacon, doughnuts, and meat scraps to lure trophy animals at close range. This rule replaces a 2024 Biden administration rule that had banned the practice.\n\nThe Guardian US reports that opponents claim the practice will make bears more aggressive around people and allege the change is a political gift to rightwing trophy hunters. Environmental groups have criticized the move, describing it as “indefensible and inexcusable.”",
