So your argument is basically "I am more important than nature"?

Go to somewhere that isn't part of Grizzly bears' natural habitat if you want to recreate without the fear of getting eaten alive.

The horrible idea would be putting major population centers too close to native grizzly habitat. We have tons of territory in other places too.

And yet here you are suggesting that we shouldn't repatriate a species that we (basically) removed from the area because it would make it more dangerous for us, as if WE are the purpose of nature.

Grizzlies were driven out of the Western US for a reason. Putting them too close major population centers is a horrible idea. They have tons of territory in the Rockies, Canada, and Alaska in more remote places

Are you an antinatalist?

LOL. Sorry I enjoy backpacking and dont want to worry about getting eaten alive, because a bear is feeding on a dead elk near the trail and views me as a threat.

Lets put the fucking grizzlies in your back yard?

The point is if you're not okay with the risks of being out in the wild, stay home.

I hope that if they do re-introduce grizzly bears to Washington state that they let them loose in the capital building. But seriously guys, the first hiker to be ate needs to result in good men of the back country exterminating all grizzly bears in Washington state. I use the term “exterminate” precisely.

The only people that want this are the starry eyed useful idiot environmentalist that are controlled by the Malthusian globalist overlords, the globalist overlords who control them, and the nature worshipers that hate human beings. What I mean by this are the people who pray to the spirits of the forest for it to heal yet wish suffering on their neighbors over a disagreement or a fight. These are the people that would splash acid in the face of a child for the revolution.

Classic NIMBY lol if nothing else at least Washingtonians are consistent

3. People who think the desire for outdoor recreation doesn't mean we should sanitize the wild and domesticate it to our liking.

Isn't part of the point of being outdoors that you're out in nature? Aren't grizzly bears part of that nature?

If we try to domesticate the wild, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

Ok

Wild animals tend not to attack people who aren't in the wild.

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't go out into the wild - just that your desire to be in the wild doesn't give you the right to domesticate it.

You feel the same way I do. This is a dumb idea that will lead to dead people, dead bears, and has 0 benefit except for the funding to the researchers

Good thing they are limiting us to 10rd mags. Hope thats enough to take down a grizzly with your favorite firearm.

Couldn't the same thing be said about humans? We have all of everywhere else to hang out in too.

I don’t know what to tell you if you think the unprecedented global loss of biodiversity isn’t serious or at the very least alarming you’re lost.

No one can explain how it is ecologically important. How are the Cascades being negatively impacted by no grizzlies? California? There isnt a negative impact.
