More idiots get killed, therefore leaving more natural land for the wildlife that call it home. I love it.

I hope so. I dream of this every year. Let the predators live where they’re supposed to, and there will be a drastically smaller list of bad hikers out on trails that leave shit everywhere.

Pepper spray scented bear skat.

Lucky for you grizzly ain't gonna stalk you like a big cat.

Because they belong there just as much as we do

We have plenty of dinosaurs working at Hanford!

Alright we’re going to need mandatory “how to act around bear” courses for all hikers, because grizzlies are potentially way more aggressive than black bears as far as I know. We need to make sure poor bears aren’t getting shot because of stupid people. I worry a bit about potential conflicts at popular areas such as Ross Lake.

I would like to see this work though, because it’s definitely ecologically important.

Edit: maybe not mandatory course, but just much more awareness.

It has a pickup header on it, used a lot in seed harvesting.

A species native to the area could remain displaced, imparting numerous observed and unobserved ecological consequences?

Is that the answer you were looking for?

Biodiversity. They got after slightly different things in the habitat for food. etc

grizzlies don't really go out and ambush people. you just gotta not startle one.

not the bears fault if someone is a moron

We should have dinosaurs in the Hanford area.

The article says the North Cascades are prime habitat and reintroduction of grizzlies is feasible, while the last process was "discontinued due to overwhelming local opposition". Also that there have been grizzlies sighted there as recently as 2015.

I wonder what the point of expanding the population is? What do grizzlies bring that black bears don't?

>No idea what a “seed” combine is though…

A little Googling suggest perhaps a combine built for harvesting grass seed?

The bears are like “great now we have to deal with /u/roachman253 on our hikes”

Harvest fires are a thing. Lucky they were able to save the crop from burning.

No idea what a “seed” combine is though…
