      Oh yeah? Well hopefully us LIBERALS will be the ones to keep environmental protection laws safe from the Trump right. I won’t even call them conservatives because they’re not. They’re social fascists in training. Trump’s sons go on African “safaris” and pay to kill Lions, Rhinos, Cheetahs, and Giraffes.

    I'm not American but I watch a lot of documentaries about wildlife and I also think it would be a mistake to introduce him again in California because they are top predators or just a human with a very strong weapon to kill him. they are pretty much like great white sharks a killing machine. it's not just any caliber that knocks one down. unfortunately either humans or bears.

    I’ve been a hunter and fisherman all of my life and you can’t do that for decades and not turn into a conservationist. Because you realize the longer you do it how much game animals there AREN’T in areas where there should be a lot of them. Southern California ought to have bear and elk and there is a fair amount of backcountry still left that could support them. But in a century and a half we have destroyed the natural habitat just about completely. It is heartbreaking when I hunt among trees that are older than the American revolution and try to imagine what it was like. I bought a cabin and 16 acres in the mountains about a decade ago and that changed the way I think about just about everything in life. I realize that I’m just a temporary caretaker of land, trees and rocks that will persist for millennia after I’m gone. And today, people have less connection to the natural world than ever, we just keep bringing more and more people into this country. The middle of America will look like Southern California in 50 years.

    • @somedude9528
      @somedude9528 4 роки тому +10

      The temperament of grizzly bears varies incredibly, as with most bears.
      With bears in general, it can vary from one bear to the other. A bear living on one side of a mountain can be much more aggressive than the bear living on the other side of it.
      This, combined with California's high density of human populations, will make it very tricky to bring the grizzly back.

    • @NCRonrad
      @NCRonrad Рік тому +3

      Bears are considered family, and given the respect and distance they’re needed to many of the native people of CA. Just because you’re afraid of something doesn’t mean it should be killed to the point of genocide… wait.
      This idiotic fear of bears is no different than the foreigners idiotic fear of fire.
      How’s your 2Billion dollar a year budget holding up to the native management practices? Hilarious how all that money, all those helicopters, and vehicles are no where near as effective as frequent (5-15 year Rx-burn frequency), quick and relatively cool Burns a tribal 5 year old would be learning (had foreigners not chosen to murder and steal land that is).

      Your view of nature and reality is based in fear. My people, and many of the natives of California would and Don consider the bear a relative. Bears have as much if not more things to teach than they do a “malevolent spirit to kill.”
      It’s that foreigner fear that led to the genocide of the bears and of the native people.

    Although it would certainly be a much much smaller imprint, the grizzly could be reintroduced or even cloned using dna from old hair or bone and present day brown bears. I would say California;s wild places could easily support 750 bears.

  • @taylorhubenthal17
    @taylorhubenthal17 Рік тому +3

    Grizzlies were part of California’s ecosystem, they were the dominant predator here in California for thousands of years, but there favorite places to be in California are now where people live, like the coasts, the 1602 Spanish Vizcaino expedition recorded seeing grizzlies in Monterey coming to the beach one night to feed on a beached whale carcass, grizzlies in some ways would have been more prevalent in California than in Alaska at one point, and of course Alaska had started to be explored by land before California was, because the Russians had penetrated Alaska in 1749, and the Spaniards didn’t start exploring California by land until 1769
