As a resident of Washington State for 30 years and having hiked, climbed and hunted the Cascades I can only say this is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard off. Many people will lose their lives in this grizzly bear reintroduction.
I agree. These are dangerous predators and they will end up killing people. Let the hunters cull the population of prey animals that the great bears would be going after. Environmentalists want to restore habitats as they once were and while its an admirable goal, its just not workable unless you're going to remove the people which ain't happening.
@@minerran Environmentalists are literally anti-Human. If you read articles by some of their leaders you will understand that they view Humanity as a cancer on the Earth. From their perspective, if people are harmed or eaten by Grizzly bears that’s the fault of the people, bonus for the bears. The average Joe Environmentalist does not understand or even hold this evil will, they are just the useful idiots fulfilling the agenda of the truly evil monsters behind the Environmentalist movement.
@minerran Well said. Restoring to what it once was is not realistic because nothing is what it once was. These nut jobs would have dinosaurs reintroduced if it were possible. I'm a solo hiker. I am armed and also carry bear spray. However, I do not want to hike in areas where Grizzlies roam. This is insane. Guess insanity is today's norm.🤪
@@minerransad but true humans will have this earth until we go extinct no matter the cost to animals or plants we will control and poison until our end greed is part of us.
I live in the north cascades along the upper Skagit River. We have enough problems here with black bears and have no love whatsoever for the thought of adding Grizzlies to the list of predators that actively hunt people. Grizzly bears will naturally move down from the mountains and live along the outer edge of towns and cities where the opportunities for an easily acquirable meal are more prevalent. Grizzlies have no fear of humans and bear spray doesn’t work on them. There is nothing positive about introducing grizzlies into the north cascades.
I don't agree with the plan but let's not muddy the water by making false statements: "Grizzlies have no fear of humans and bear spray doesn’t work on them." On the contrary, bear spray has been shown to be extremely effective and browns do avoid humans. Sows will protect their cubs and all bears will fight for possession of a carcass, including attacks on humans in both cases.
This is Bullshit ..... they are not in the cascades for a reason and that is the don't belong here !!!! Their is not enough food here to survive so they will eat my children's mini pony or my small collection of little pet goats or my child even . People better think about this real hard , This is a huge animal that needs to eat a lot. Too many people live in the lower cascades now compaired to a hundred years ago and they will IMPACTED......
Lived in Alaska for twenty years, this is a ridiculous idea. If you were an activist and didn't want people to enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing etc. you would plant grizzlies there, it's about control and discouraging people from enjoying the outdoors, nobody with a lick common sense would promote this, they don't care about people, period.
It enables surveillance, oppression and seizure of rural homes, ranches and farms near the "Enironmental" areas. The parks and protected areas become a private club for academic elites and elite park and forest staff.
Grizzly bears have a range of 500 SQUARE MILES. If you want to know how grizzlies get along with people watch a few vids on the YT channel Scary Bear Attacks. Grizzlies don't kill you first! They knock you down and just START EATING YOU! So, you'll get to watch yourself as you become the hors d'oeurves and first course of their meal as you scream in horrific pain. If you're lucky you'll bleed out and die while they finish you off or cache your body for a snack later. These people are absolutely insane to think this is in any way a good idea. It may be true that "most" bears avoid humans, but once they have a problem with health or ability to fend for themselves in their normal habitat they WILL go outside of normal behavior and seek out easier meals. Seriously, if you see 3 videos of Scary Bear Attacks which are true stories, and still think it is a good idea - you should have to pitch a tent, live among them and cook over an open fire for six months in Grizzly habitat. This is possibly the WORST IDEA I've ever heard and after the first death to grizzly whoever forced this absurdity should be charged as an accessory to murder and SUED for all they're worth!
Never has a population of millions lived next to a grizzly population. There are only 750k people in Alaska and if you add the population up of every town around Yellowstone it's less than 250k. There are 7.5 million people in Washington State and most of those are around the Cascades. Their definition of the North Cascades in from the I-90 north, not just the park. There aren't large fish in the cascade rivers like the rockies, there's not an abundance of game and wildlife to begin with. What are these bears going to eat? They have too many of our tax dollars to be spending millions on moving bears around. Who does this help?
It will have a calf or two with a side dish of apple's and cherrys, they will have no problem finding food with all those ranches and orchards up there.
There are many fish in the cascades rivers on the west side with all the salmon returning to spawn, could turn out to be a huge bear magnate drawing them toward the population.
I have hunted in the Bob Marshall Wilderness six times in the last 12 years. A few of our guides live in Choteau, which is right close to Trina's ranch. One of our guides, several years ago was driving to work as an electrician in the morning when he spied an adult grizzly out on the prairie grass only several hundred yards from a school bus stop. He turned around and gave the kids a ride to school in his truck.
Can you put some back in California I’ll raise the funding should be pretty easy. California had three people killed this year by just normal black bears yeah let’s get some grizzlies.
Ya i work in the cascades, i dont give a fuck if that bear has a collar on it or not if one threatens my life that bear will be unalived. And the gubberment can suck it.
DO NOT introduce grizzly bears into the Cascades....I've hiked these trails for years, and there will be NO room for humans if this goes through. Trust me!!!
There is no good reason to reintroduce grizzlies into The North Cascades. It puts humans and bears in danger because now I will now have to buy a firearm.
That’s the point. Grizzly along with wolves, will help get rid of independent ranches and farmers. Keep a lot of people away from the woods, and closer to cities, especially as guns slowly get banned.
You can never be prepared for a deadly grizzly attack. I live in a certain place because the grizzlies are not here. When I’m in the forest I haven’t had to fear that I maybe attacked from a grizzly. I don’t agree with the grizzlies being brought into Washington State! So if someone is killed by a grizzly then the State is liable and should be held legally liable.
Whenever people say the numbers are low, i.e. deaths or mauling by bears, they are looking at absolute numbers. But if you look at how many people venture into bear country, that number isn’t so small and if you could potentially be part of that statistic, you really don’t care how small it is. After watching hundreds of videos of bear attacks, you can’t make the assertion that it is the human’s fault. Many of these attacks happen because of territorial defense, a bear defending its cache, or you stumble onto a Sow with cubs. Other times, it’s a predatory attack, where the bear has been following you just to fucking eat you! I love and need to be in the great outdoors but I am really reconsidering it now. It doesn’t matter how well prepared you think you might be, there’s always that chance that a viscous bear is out to get you.
Disagree. People consider everything an entitlement. Campers learn NOTHING, do no research before showing up in bear country. All parks should have a mandatory intro to bear country camping/living. Usually bear issues are due to people's ignorance.
@@cachi-7878 First black bears: all cases of bear issues I have seen were due to PEOPLE. There are basic obvious rules: NEVER SURPRISE A BEAR. DO NOT RUN. Leave no food or smelly stuff available to a crafty/strong bear. Obviously means no bicycles. Over several years it is clear to me that many people REFUSE/neglect to learn and then blame the bear. . Dont camp in the middle of bear food😂 Do not camp near water or trail. There are quite a few more "donts"😂 that apparently are not readily obvious to campers. Obviously my safety rules are impossible to follow for hunters. Sorry. Hiking in groups of 4 is quite safe even in grizzly country if you know what you are doing. Dogs WILL be seen as a predator by sows with cubs...who may instantly go "ballistic"! Only camped/hiked with my cat and she seemed OK wherever😅 (not "tested" grizzlies)
Once you get the bear in your back yard, you'll never get rid of them. We have them here in Montana, far more than the original plan for protection. You're gonna hate yourselves for re-introducing them into the North Cascades. Good luck! Shoot, shovel and shut up!
Isn't it interesting how the "authorities" pretend to want local input and then turn around and do things even though the people are screaming NO! So much for listening to the populace.
Wa state politicians have been selected not elected for years and years. I left a 30+ year career because of it and moved to another state. Look at some of the debacles surrounding the governor elections over the years. The people have to take control of their government.
Just like wolves, grizzly will become a concern and will be a problem. I have no faith in any of this. Cougars, wolves, bears and even coyotes will destroy the deer and elk population and now WA. state is taking away hunting bit by bit. last year spring bear season was taken away, this year the bear season is a month shorter and the bag limit I believe has been cut to 1 from 2. Now lets bring in the grizzles.it`s all BS.
This is such a horrendous idea that not only sets up the local communities and outdoor users to fail, but also the bears. There is zero barriers to grizzly bear natural repopulation from BC and NE Washington and the only reason they are not there is it is less preferred habitat. All ungulates migrate low for the winter, no large populations of moths and grubs exist, or the fisheries that support them elsewhere… so where will they go? Low into the human matrix where they will become problems and be relocated or lethally removed. Did we learn nothing from the recent wolf reintroduction in Colorado? Maybe nature finds its way and we shouldn’t insist and impose our will on it when it comes to apex predators.
Of course it’s a dumb idea which means it will happen. This is the new America where animals particularly predatory animals are given priority over all other living creatures.
Why make more problems for the people. They were fine without them. Who pays the rancher for ther loss .who is responsible if they hurt or kill someone.
Umm the government literally will pay you for livestock that is lost to wolf predation, I'm sure they would do the same for a reintroduced population of grizzlies.
You folks are a little behind. Grizzlies are coming down into WA. state from Canada. We've had a couple tagged in Colville and moved 3 times for eating peoples chickens.
Support the grizzlies! Anyone that thinks ,awll nooo! Bears are gonna attack or bad things surrounding the fear mongering, that gets attached to these majestic bears! Google , for any doubters, what is anyone's chance of acctually seeing a grizzley bear, let alone be close vicinity to one? Numbers of that happening , would be like hitting , your states big lottery! Slim & nill! Thing there not bringing up, is how much stress, theyve put on grizzlies, by wanting to live in the bears habitat
Everyone has their phobias, what’s yours? Spiders, snakes, rodents, what? I live in black bear country, I’ve had bears break into my landlords shed where he keeps extra supplies. Have witnessed 7 bears over the 20 years I’ve lived here in my yard or after our trash can. Have you?
I hiked extensively in the Pasayten Wilderness (North Cascades) in the early and late 70's. At that time we had around 4-5 grizzlies known to be in the area. It's extremely remote there and you need days to reach the interior of the Pasayten which flows north into British Columbia.
@ikejennings1154 countless. 3 days ago once again, twice actually and the second time, the bear was 20 feet away. How about you? Thanks though, good try 👍
Grizzly bears are part of a healthy ecosystem and the North Cascades are very remote. How many of the comments are from people that know griz? I’ve 15+ years in grizzly country in MT. Cattle can be raised anywhere, griz are resisted to very restricted areas.
Oh....really? Do you put signs up in Grizzly language saying "go no further bear" and they read it and turn around? Stupid, world class stupid. You should be nominated for the Darwin Awards.
I like grizzly bears. I think they are magnificent animals. But the fact is rural communities near North Cascades don't want them returned. As disappointing as that is, the feds could still consider other areas in the grizzly bear's former range like the Olympic National Park, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Northern California for reintroduction. Forced reintroduction will only create more resentment for bears and for federal government (as if there isn't enough resentment for them already). It doesn't help at all that environmental extremists do abuse the ESA against rural communities. Also, as much as i love bears, there is a reason its legal to hunt them in Canada, Russia, Finland and the Baltic Republics.
Look at the bright side: more grizzlies = fewer RVers. Frankly I prefer the bears. People degrade nature without any respect/thought. Things have been going downhill markedly since 2020 when I started spending most of my time in nature and hiking in bear country (black bears mostly) but I am learning😂 Ok people do not steal cows😂...but give it a few years... The North Cascades ... how huge a territory is that? I may also prefer grizzlies vs herds of wild boars. Ask people in the Pyrenees (France to Spain border). Seems even pros avoid hiking alone in those mountains.
@@ms6071 of course I do. I also know the majority of beef I eat comes from feedlots where the only other animal those cows see is maybe a rat. Ranchers lease govt land relatively cheap to graze and part of that is knowing other animals share that land
Good. Glad to hear the bears are back where they were eradicated from. The US doesn't need to be concrete and asphalt from sea to shining sea. Parts of the country have always been wild.
@@GraniteChief369Ask a bear and they'll tell you mankind is eating all of their prey animals and destroying their homeland. When apex predators are eradicated many animals suffer. CWD chronic wasting disease is present in my area and it's due to the eradication of the apex predators, especially the wolves. Hunters don't like harvesting sick deer.
This is awesome!! There are to many black bears in the Cascades. Can't hike without seeing a black bear. Grizzlies won't tolerate black bears. Soooooo there's that. FYI that's sarcasm. However Grizzlies won't tolerate black bears.
It's time to stop protecting predators. Particularly those inhabiting government buildings.

Oh....really? Do you put signs up in Grizzly language saying "go no further bear" and they read it and turn around? Stupid, world class stupid. You should be nominated for the Darwin Awards.
S.S.S.
I love how people who don’t know anything are somehow experts in the comments section
Grizzly bears are more afraid of you, than you are of them.
BS
Only if hunting is liberal. In areas where they’re protected they are quite brazen.
That what they say about black bears, silly! Yet several people this year alone have been attacked or K.I.L.L.E. D. by said black bears.
I like grizzly bears. I think they are magnificent animals. But the fact is rural communities near North Cascades don't want them returned. As disappointing as that is, the feds could still consider other areas in the grizzly bear's former range like the Olympic National Park, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Northern California for reintroduction.
Forced reintroduction will only create more resentment for bears and for federal government (as if there isn't enough resentment for them already). It doesn't help at all that environmental extremists do abuse the ESA against rural communities.
Also, as much as i love bears, there is a reason its legal to hunt them in Canada, Russia, Finland and the Baltic Republics.
Look at the bright side: more grizzlies = fewer RVers. Frankly I prefer the bears. People degrade nature without any respect/thought. Things have been going downhill markedly since 2020 when I started spending most of my time in nature and hiking in bear country (black bears mostly) but I am learning😂
Ok people do not steal cows😂...but give it a few years...
The North Cascades ... how huge a territory is that?
I may also prefer grizzlies vs herds of wild boars. Ask people in the Pyrenees (France to Spain border). Seems even pros avoid hiking alone in those mountains.
People are nature. One of the biggest lies of the lefties is that man is somehow different from the rest of nature.
Ranchers won’t be happy until every animal but cows remain
Just curious, do you eat meat? Have you ever been a Rancher before? Smarty!
@@ms6071 of course I do. I also know the majority of beef I eat comes from feedlots where the only other animal those cows see is maybe a rat. Ranchers lease govt land relatively cheap to graze and part of that is knowing other animals share that land
Good. Glad to hear the bears are back where they were eradicated from. The US doesn't need to be concrete and asphalt from sea to shining sea. Parts of the country have always been wild.
Like here in N Idaho where the reintroduced wolves decimated the elk and moose populations?
Says a man that lives in a city.
@@thomaswayneward Ever heard of big cities in the Ozark Mountains?
@@paulstewart3298 Sorry I don't believe you were raised in the country.
@@GraniteChief369Ask a bear and they'll tell you mankind is eating all of their prey animals and destroying their homeland. When apex predators are eradicated many animals suffer. CWD chronic wasting disease is present in my area and it's due to the eradication of the apex predators, especially the wolves. Hunters don't like harvesting sick deer.
This is awesome!! There are to many black bears in the Cascades. Can't hike without seeing a black bear. Grizzlies won't tolerate black bears. Soooooo there's that. FYI that's sarcasm. However Grizzlies won't tolerate black bears.
