  • Now is the time to restore the North Cascades grizzly bear!
    The North Cascades Ecosystem is the only remaining grizzly bear population on the West Coast of the contiguous United States. Although grizzlies have lived in the North Cascades for thousands of years, biologists estimate that fewer than 10 remain today, making it the most at-risk bear population in North America.
    After decades of research, the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies have released proposals to support recovery of this iconic species. This is welcome news, and a historic conservation opportunity. But just how do we restore these magnificent animals?
    Follow the story of grizzly bear recovery in Montana’s Cabinet Mountains, through the lens of ecologist and bear expert Chris Morgan. Grizzly recovery in the Cabinet Mountains, done through science and community involvement, could serve as a model for the North Cascades.

    Here in northwest Wyoming the bears have recovered. Now they are spreading out and coming into conflict with people: raiding orchards around Cody, livestock in the Green River area, etc. They have been seen within a short hike of my pasture in the Snake River Range for the first time in over fifty years.
    Every plan for the Wyoming Game and Fish to manage their population results in a lawsuit.
    Currently the management plan has been ruined. There are, I think, FOUR lawsuits pending.
    This is what will happen in the Cascades if the bears are reintroduced. Your lives will be managed by rich city folks, the Sierra Club, and federal judges.

      If bears are coming into contact with people and eating from orchards and killing livestock then not enough is being done to manage them and people are often a large contributor to bears coming closer and closer to humans by giving them some sort of incentive to approach populated areas. I have lived in Washington for 26 years and it’s wonderful seeing the bear population rise once again and it’s beautiful and just as they were here first and they are one of the most magnificent creatures to ever live and to see them die out without even attempting to save them because of some apples and livestock would just be sad and tragic. Now when it comes to potential loss of human life then that’s when I say let’s go back to the drawing board as I value human life over any animal. Obviously it needs to be done safely, and I don’t have the answers but we need to at least try.

The cascades are already filling up with humans and to introduce more top predators into the area is asking for trouble for both humans and the poor animals that will be killed once they become a nuisance.

    @the.original.throwback 6 років тому +57

    This video sales pitch for releasing Grizzly Bears in Washington state claims that most people want the bear population restored, but the IDEA of living with bears is not the same as LIVING with bears. Most of Washington's population lives in the Puget Sound area and holds political sway over the rest of the state, including decisions about the reality of Grizzly Bear population restoration in the North Cascades. Unfortunately, people living close to the bears' range are comparatively few in number and wield little or no political power. However, their kids do have to catch school buses in the dark and their kids will have to be at risk of encountering a Grizzly while going about other normal activities, as will all others living in the region. That is the reality of ACTUALLY living with bears. It is too bad that a more fair way to decide where bears should be released is not possible. The process would be to poll each community and those that want bears get them. If, for example, a majority of Bellevue's citizens approved releasing Grizzlies then satisfy their IDEA of living with bears by releasing some in Bellevue for their pleasure and edification. Of course, that notion is ridiculous for obvious reasons, but is it less ridiculous for people living hundreds of miles away to approve inflicting a potentially lethal hazard on folks who basically have no say in the matter? Why is this necessary? Who really benefits and in what way? Or is all of this in support of the IDEA of wildness and nature to be enjoyed through the window of a safe, warm SUV?

Ecosystems are not balanced when you add something else to them that has not been present for many years. It's humans interfering with nature. If they venture in on their own then that's how it works. Now us adding them because they "once were here" and not factoring in our human effect on prey and populations, stupidity!

Many of the places I grew up hunting are not the same and it's not from hunting pressure. In "theory" their plans should work. A computer analysis and prediction is not the same as mother nature.

    Newly released bear to other bears, " Man, You won't believe what happened to me. I was cruising in my hood and I found this fresh pile of food in this tunnel shaped garbage can. So I thought, free grits, why not? When I grabbed the food the garbage can tried to eat me. Then, and this is where it gets weird, aliens showed up and made my unconscious. Then, (in a whispered tone) I think they did experiments on me. Anyway, my hoopadoop was really sore when I came to. Then the garbage can took off and, I know you guys won't believe me but I was traveling at least 2-3 times faster in the garbage can than I have ever have before.. When it finally stopped, the garbage can spit me out, and I had this ugly, ugly thing around my neck. Man, I am really scared. I don't know where I am. None of this area looks familiar. And the aliens took off with the garbage can so i can't get back home. Truly happened. I swear. So any hot sows in the vicinity?"

    Let’s give an apex predator a human name , call it a grandma and daughter and add some violin music and have some UK idiot help fool the public about their lethality . British Columbia is on the verge of an epidemic human body count because the grizzly bear hunt has just been stopped . That’s hundreds of grizzlies that will now not be taken out of the herd . Add to that the offspring they will produce and you have just just added hundreds of more bears to chew on humans every year . For every grizzly that isn’t taken out , how many other animals have you sentenced to die because these things are carnivores that do anything for food . A recent incident in The Yukon had a grizzly shot as he charged a trapper . Unknown to the trapper was the fact that this bear had just killed his wife and infant daughter !!!
    I condemn this outrageous video in the strongest possible language . No one is suggesting that we exterminate all grizzlies but if the numbers get high enough , they will begin eating each other ! How does that fit your violin soundtrack ?

A beautiful video that does not in any way illustrate the true relationship of ranchers with grizzlies. To have people simply say "yes" without knowing what question was asked isn't conducive to believe they all want grizzlies back. It's fine to show a sow with her cuddly cubs but how about showing a bear attack, how fast, furious and vicious they are and devastating and life altering if, big if, one survives the attack. This video does not in any way provide a true representation of the reality of living with grizzlies, not even close.
