The National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service have announced a decision to actively restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades of Washington.

I'm all for it..... the yuppie hiker crowd is terrifed.

yep.,,,, WDFW is silly, There objective is to eliminate high country hunting (to expensive to patrol)
wolves have not developed a tastes for Seatlites so Maybe??? the griz will...

They should they're made out of meat

The faster we can get grizzlies around population centers, the faster some kind of sanity regarding policy can be restored.

This^^^yep^^^

Should work given time.

Airdrop griz into Central Park?

Let me tell you grizzlies are bad news. I lived in wyoming for 8 years with lots of them. It's no fun trying to hunt deer and elk when you have to worry about getting attacked by one of them. Game and fish warns hunters not to process a big game animals without someone there to stand guard. They don't try to avoid people they are very dangerous.
Ranchers will loose livestock and hunters will loose alot of game. I think this is just a way to stop hunters in Washington

Black Bears are moving into urban areas in Californiastan and are becoming a serious problem.

Our wolf trappins season was delayed due to the anti's claiming that traps were endangering grizzly bears.I beleive it is the same thing or worse in Idaho.Not sure how that works with trapping there but just wait it's the new anti ammo.

You'll pitch your tent on their Trail

Same goes for wolves, perhaps the urban populations won't think they're a lovable poster child.

They should just drop a couple off outside Seattle. They'll find the fish market in no time!

The ignorance of people is pretty incredible. Urban fools clamoring for things like grizzlies in the state, that they won't ever have to deal with. Everything sounds good when you aren't the person that has to deal with the repercussions. Live in an urban area, where habitat for wildlife has been destroyed, and then want wildlife restored in a rural area that they don't have to deal with. Those bears need dropped off right next to all major urban areas.

Think Audobon Park would be an ideal location, close to UW for studying and 5 hatcheries in close proximity for food source.

That is good the grizzes will have something munch on...
