The Biden administration's plan to relocate grizzly bear populations to rural parts of Washington State will have a devastating impact on agriculture and livestock in the region while posing a significant danger to local communities, a fifth generation cattle producer warned.
Residents of Washington State are doubling down on their concerns surrounding the federal government's plan to translocate grizzly bears, an apex predator, to the federally-managed North Cascades National Park, after the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the strategy their preferred plan for grizzly bear management in the region.
The North Cascades National Park borders rural communities in northern Washington State. If approved, the plan would not only put the livelihoods of locals at risk, but it will pose a serious danger to families who live in the area, Neil Kayser, member of the Washington Cattleman's Association and longtime cattle producer, told Laura Ingraham on Monday.
"There’s a real danger of our livestock …of the people that are working and living in this area that they’re going to bring the bears into. It’s a real threat and danger to our families," Kayser said on "The Ingraham Angle."
Despite widespread opposition, the government's relocation proposal was accelerated last week with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service publishing a final environmental impact statement listing the translocation of grizzly bears from other ecosystems with an "experimental population designation" as their ideal management strategy.

Have you ever been to Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper? I think that area is more spectacular. And less crowded most of the time except at the chateau.
Barbed wire don’t mean crap to a Griz, it will go through it like sh!t through a goose.
I guess if you have multiple coils of razor wire it MIGHT just SLOW it down.
YUP; until they EAT YOU, ALIVE.
They are not known as an APEX PREDITOR for being warm and fuzzy!
Tell that to two of my calves, and yeah I shot that son of a bitch and turned him into dog food.
Over 20 years about 15,000 dollars of damage to barns and coops, bears trying to get at feed and chickens.
They come here, either they die or I get eaten.
I live in prime bear country having them come through is a regular occurrence.
I have hunted bears for over 50 years.
I do know a bit about bears.
Sorry they are a pain to have around ones home.
LOL
