Griz and wolves! Amazing animals, grizzlies! Wolves, on the other hand, should be eradicated....again!
To: Bushbacker1
I have mixed thoughts on bringing back the wolves and grizzlies.
Ideally, it seems good to have them in the wild-lands. Realistically, it means for all intents and purposes you’re making an area of the wild non-accessible to humans.
Perhaps my thoughts are tunnel vision here, but I don’t like seeing areas of our nation crafted to keep humans out.

Our forefathers were a hell of a lot smarter than the enviro-nazis who are stuck on stupid.

Heh. In other words, maybe the political regulator folks are frightened about tourist revenues going down because of bears eating tourists. There are probably many more than 600 of those creatures in the area, too.

Why would they need a special protected status? Hunting in a Nat. Park is illegal.

The introduction of the much larger Canadian timber wolves and Grizzlies are decimating much of the native elk , deer, moose, sheep ... populations.
Plus the wolves were to be limited to a small number and to a limited range. Both promises were / are ignored.
and the hydatid disease due to Echinococcosis granulosus tape worms

Doesn’t sound good on a number of levels here.
Thanks for making the points.

Reduce the numbers of grizzlies by delisting them and having limited numbers of hunting permits issued for them.
Pay a bounty on wolves as well as a year round open season.

But conservationists successfully challenged the de-listing in court, arguing that the government discounted climate changes that brought about the decline of whitebark pines...More climate change lies. The whitebark pine is declining due to introduced disease and mountain pine beetle infestation.
Environazis always lie.
Thanks for the Ping, George!

I agree. I believe that every block of Washington D.C. should have at least one grizzly and two wolves.
To: DoughtyOne
...t means for all intents and purposes youre making an area of the wild non-accessible to humans.Just curious. Are you saying that wild critters have no right to have any habitat all their own, i.e. being able to escape from people?

The White bark pine. How much food does the grizzly get from a White Bark Pine. I’d say about as much as the ocean level has risen over the last 100 years.
