Two environmental groups are suing the state of Montana for approving additional wolf trapping that could harm or kill grizzly bears.

A bill on Gov. Greg Gianforte’s desk would require a judge to place a bond and collect securities from plaintiffs who are seeking injunctions that prevent the ability to hunt or harvest wild game in the state.

Montana's Democrat Senator Jon Tester has fallen in line with fellow Democrats in opposing Judge Neil Gorsuch for the U.S. Supreme Court.
