Plan to reintroduce grizzlies to the Washington Cascades

[Nosferatu]

Even with all the negative Grizzly/Human encounters going on recently, there seems to be a push to spread the wealth.

Below is a link to the plan and link for you to submit your opinion, if you have one until Nov. 13th:

Well if they do it will only be a matter of time till someone is killed by one. Then of course here will come the bottom feeders wanting a pay out.

Reintroduce them in downtown Seattle. reduce homeless and granola eaters all at the same time. Sounds like a win for all.

Revolver in .600 Nitro would be pretty spicy.

They could have paid rolling tours. Bus loads of people driving through watching nature clean the place up

Wife and I were hiking and climbing in Banff National Park celebrating our 39th Anniversary a couple of weeks ago when a grizzly killed a younger couple and their dog there. They were experienced hikers, hung their food and used up their full can of bear spray unsuccessfully trying to fight the bear off. Everyone nearby was pretty freaked. Northern Alberta news featured it hourly, together with pre-season hockey scores, of course lots of signs saying parties of four required to hike in a lot of areas. No handguns allowed in the park (let alone across the border).

So yes this seems like a great idea. Now the wolves and cougars will have to share the few remaining elk.. Only fair. And since they are endangered in the lower forty-eight the bears will be protected. More great stewardship from our fearful leaders. I'm all in.

It's all a marketing ploy to maximize sales on big bore revolvers and bear spray.

Let's reintroduce aggressive apex predators. What could possibly go wrong?

This is why my picnic basket is a 12 gauge loaded with slugs.
