    I hope they put these grizzles around Seattle, maybe in Seattle parks. Should make great you tube videos.

    Our grandparents, who had more wisdom in their little toe than we have in whole cities, had the good sense to hunt out apex predators like grizzley bears because they knew what a danger they are to HUMAN BEINGS. We have forgotten all these hard lessons they knew by hard experience. We tend to think nature is cute and cuddly. We are wrong.

      God gave us dominion over the earth. For me, it’s up to us to decide if we’re going to abuse and use or be good stewards.
      Our species can level entire cities in the blink of an eye, I think with education, prevention and protection (2nd amendment) we can live with a small population of bears. It’s done in Alaska and Montana every day

      You are clueless. Game management is paid for by those who utilize the resources. Not by those who say they are cute. They were removed for very good reasons.

    There ought to be a program like they have with goats, where they drop goats into an area of a bunch of bushes and weeds that they want cleared out if they did the same with grizzly bears in areas of crime, where they drop grizzly bears in and then, after the crime drops, they go and pick them up and take them to another place that has large amounts of crime and other such things humans don’t need

    I have witnessed southern states transplanting wildlife for decades, and it’s always a bad idea.
    Arkansas brought in cougars because they eat coyotes. I asked at the time, "Do you really think a mountain lion is going to chase a coyote when there are turkeys, rabbits, young deer, etc that are easier to catch", I was informed of my stupidity by a game and fish officer, I was informed that I am not a biologist and I needed to shut my mouth.
    Now, almost 15 years later, our wild turkey populations have been devastated, rabbit populations have suffered, and about two years ago we started hearing about these cats killing livestock.

    Consideration for the grizzly is admirable, but children and grizzlies don't mix well. Besides that, due to federal money printing practices, it's just not feasible to allocate that money with the current housing crisis. If you introduce grizzlies into an area where there are homeless people, your going to create a crisis where homeless people are preyed upon by grizzlies resulting in dead people and grizzlies that have to be destroyed because they have developed a taste for human flesh. I would say no for the sake of not making a bad situation worse.

    The key question is - Can a park visitor, potentially from another state, bring a gun to personal protection? I guess the answer is NO…

      It wall illegal in Washington to have a firearm in national parks, but the fed was sued and the supreme Court ruled they must follow all state and federal laws while in the park in Washington boundaries. Open carry without conceal permit is legal and concealed with permit. They don't like it around lake crescent. Lol. I open carry all the time there, and live 5 min away from park boundary.

    Guides and hunters, where brown bears live, carry guns to protect themselves when attacked by a Grizzly. Are they going to recommend everyone wear guns in the parks and surrounding area? Would children, in their backyard, need an armed adult to guard them?

    There are people that live on a planet with all the other things that live on a planet.
    Then there are people that live in a neighborhood with all the things that live in that neighborhood excluding planetary life which becomes a problem for the neighborhood people and its inhabitants.
    The people that move farther away from people to get away from the things that people do then only want people where they move to.
    Quite discombobulating if you ask me.

    I got an idea, how about dropping the only predator that has no fear of humans or any other animal, on the old natural habitat on the Indian reservations and see how long the predator will last. I’m sure Mr. Sams would volunteer to be the first person to welcome the beast to the native lands. First was the wolves and now the Griz? What the hell are you folks thinking? Boogie, I thought you were much smarter then to fall for this BS.
