I suspect a local outlet in PNW will pick this up, but here is link to WAPO that has a paywall:
Or better yet…fishermen/women/dogs.What happens when they start eating ESA listed salmon?
That is better...Or better yet…fishermen/women/dogs.
Those aren't listed...therefore not endangered.Or better yet…fishermen/women/dogs.
For well over 99.44 % of the population, unless the Grizzly reintroduction plans include your couch, phone, or Starbucks Drive Up, this is not a threat.
Yup. According to Montana FW&P throughout the 201Xs, for every reported human - bear encounter, there was an average of 23% of the humans injured or killed, and 23% of the bears killed. One year it was no humans injured, but 50% of the bears killed. (thankfully the actuals were small)I say go for it. More dangerous?
...we’ve sanded too many corners and padded too many edges. They’ve got signs up that tell people not to fall off of cliffs or hold their children over edges.
And bullets and buckshot aren't marshmallows...a grizzly isn't Yogi.
I celebrate your right to a dissenting(?) opinion. I'd like nature to be more wild, and though I haven't bought meat from a store or a butcher in years I'd have happily paid more for ranchers to insure their livestock and/or increase the price per head in exchange for a more restored ecosystem.Yup.

Federal government seeking public input on reintroducing grizzly bears to the North Cascades
The move is to increase the endangered population in the Washington ecosystem, but not everyone is on board.www.king5.com
Paraphrasing... according to the NPS most of the Grizzly bears in WA had been killed by 1860. Were there too many signs back then? Or was it because apex predators and humans (and their livestock) don't coexist very well?
And bullets and buckshot aren't marshmallows. But no problem, right?
What are they going to eat? Our migratory ungulate populations are pitiful.
