A look at the possible reintroduction of grizzly bears to Washington | FOX 13 Seattle 

Rare L take for you. Bears are awesome and generally avoid or don't bother people. There's no reason to think human-wildlife conflicts can't have a peaceful solution that aligns with conservation efforts.

@@brendanlaven1697as someone who lives in rural Washington. Kindly take your opinion and shove it right back up the place you pulled it out from. You want them? Release them in your own backyard. Honestly sick of moronic activists wanting to endanger the public so they can pat themselves on the back.

@@mitchconner6831 actually yes I would. It would be awesome to see bears in my backyard. You’re so afraid of them, yet you drive a car. And one is certainly more likely to kill you than the other.

@@mitchconner6831 I actually looked at the statistics of fatal bear attacks, and it turns out that there have only been 180 fatal bear attacks in North America since 1784. A large portion of those from captive bears. And since the founding of Yellowstone National Park in 1876, 8 people have been killed by bears compared to 7 by falling trees. So you are almost as likely to be killed by a tree as you are by a bear in Yellowstone. And of the 750,000 (minimum) black bears, only one will kill someone every other year or so. Compared to 1 in 16,000 people committing murder every year. There’s literally no reason to be afraid of bears. The world can be a scary place full of dangers and risks, but bears are only a VERY minor part of it, even when they are in your backyard. While they certainly can and rarely do harm people, the threat they pose is negligible compared to just day to day life. Education on how to coexist with bears is certainly the best step forward for resolving this conflict.

It's called Wildlands Project and Agenda 21

Yup. We are fucked

You guys do understand that we are getting overrun in Montana time for you guys to start having bears

That’s the idea. They did this in California and in Montana and then closed off access to public and called them grizzly habitat. It’s political motive…it is to return are natural areas to their natural state and control them federally. Only allowing humans to go in with permits only and with guided tours and safari like adventures. That’s the long term management idea.

@@vikingsfan1233no thanks

People pose a danger to people. And kill far more humans a year then bears do. 😂

Let’s introduce bears to a 3.5mil metro area less than an hour away, it’ll be fine, this is fine!

No need to introduce more. We don’t want these animals reintroduced. Period

Nah, I know aikido from a steven seagal video. Grizzly Bear couldn't handle what I've got.

You live in a fairy tale. Grizzly Bears don’t live in this area anymore and the people who do live here don’t want to deal with a 1000lb apex predator in their back yards.

They are integral to the land's historic ecosystem and land cycle. They carry and eat/shit nitrogen and other nutrients that keep the forests lush and fertile and wild. People are the ones intruding upon their habitats. the least we can do is avoid them and call animla control to put them out for a while if they appear outside your home.

😂😂😂😂 someone meme a grizzly with multi colored hair.

That’s absolutely untrue. They’re almost nonexistent in ANY part of Washington state. I’d love to hear what region ow Washington state you’re citing has an even decent grizzly bear population? I’ll wait…..

@@saltysailor141 Hello sir, I'm getting back to you about the grizzly bears, I live in boundary county idaho, 15min from Canada, we have Grizzlies. I have friends and family due west in north eastern Washington in the Colville national forest area who have been there for generations. They all have talked about the more frequent grizzly I counters for over a decade and this year the most. Beard dont recognize or respect boarders, they been documented to have traveled from Montana to Washington all lot more than once. There are estimated as of now 500 know Grizzlies in Washington according to Washington records, not sure how much faith you put into Washington's honesty, but other resources put the actual population much higher. Good luck with your bear spray.

@@jonwhite1479nice gaslighting attempt friend. I’ve lived in rural Washington state for almost 34 years and have never encountered a brown bear. Black bears and cougars yes but never a brown and guess what? WE DONT WANT THEM! Also bear spray? That’s cute. Yogi is gonna get smoked. Cry about it.

⁠@@jonwhite1479there is no Washington record of even 100 grizzly established in state…..a small population of roughly a dozen is thought to live in the Selkirk ecosystem in NE Washington near the Canada border…certainly there have been strays crossing on occasion from their range in Bc and Idaho for folks living in eastern WA to see….your statement is wholly inaccurate…..
