I agree -If brown bears migrate to the north cascades naturally, on their own, then that is all well and good. Don't transplant something. ]
I disagreeBringing them back is a good first step, but managing them is also important!
If an animal has to be 'artificially' brought back and then artificially 'managed' then there is essentially no reason or rational for it to be brought back.
All Animals have had their chance 'environmentally' and if they cannot survive then so be it regardless of the reason - be it human caused or otherwise.
Ever notice how many coyotes we have, or cougars? They do not seem to be suffering the effects of humans, or environmental causes and are doing quite well.
Bringing back an animal and managing its survival is an incredible waste of money and resources and will have NO positive effect - especially if it has to be 'managed'.
