A grizzly bear sow and three cubs roam inside Yellowstone National Park.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has informed Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead that he shares the governor's desire to end federal protections for Yellowstone grizzly bears.
Salazar wrote to Mead late last week, saying he expects the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies will finish their analysis of the effect of the decline of the whitebark pine tree on bear populations by early 2014.
Scientists with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies have been addressing the whitebark pine issue, Salazar wrote. "All participants agreed that the Yellowstone grizzly population was recovered and that declines in whitebark pine do not threaten the future of the grizzly population," he stated.

Why do they want to delouse the grizzly bears? Won't they just get them again when they go home?
Oh, delist... never mind.

Cool, does that mean it will start arriving on my dinner plate?

If you make an outdoor “ping”, it means you missed and shot a rock. And the grizzly is coming your way!

I saw those bears! One had a bowl of porridge that was too hot. Another had a bowl of porridge that was too cold. The third had a bowl of porridge that was just right. And the mother was eating a tourist.

Might be a clever trick in a swing state just before the Nov elections ?

I wish they’d just kill them all. They have a crappy attitude and have no business being where humans are (or want to go).

I wouldn’t put it past them, was surprised to see Salazar agree.

They must be aiming this at the Montana electorate, because Wyoming isn't a swing state.
And I agree: everything the Obama administration does is calculated.
