Hunters may be equipped with head lamps. Practices, banned for five years, that some advocates of animal rights condemn. “These reserves are the places that attract tourists from around the world, who nourish the hope of seeing these animals emblematic evolve in their natural habitat,” said Theresa Pierno, president of the Association for the conservation of national parks. “Shoot at bears and babies that hibernate is not a way to preserve the wildlife of these parks. “
