Darrington locals say 'no' to reintroducing grizzlies | FOX 13 Seattle 

Move Grizzly Bears to downtown Seattle

Maybe this will keep the Instagram hikers away.

I think Yogi the bear should be free to do whatever he wants 🎉

Jurassic Park didn’t work out for a reason.

Why not ? They were there first!

The crunchy tasty people have spoken. ! ! !

Let the biologists and the Feds live with their families in grizzly territory.

What a waste of time and money. Try fixing the fish situation first

Humans are a priority…don’t really care what anyone thinks.

Ive never met anyone from Fartington so Im pretty sure it doesn't even exist... Duh Bears

The mayors argument makes sense, if everything is not in place other parts of the system will be negatively effected including people that may get attacked because of the lack of food for the bears

That is a terrible Idea.

Leave ‘em in Alaska! We don’t need em here !!

it’s the bears territory. they were there first before persecution, hunting, trapping, and poisoning by hunters killed them all. so those people living in the area have moral obligation to bring back grizzlies. how would these people feel if the bears did the same thing to them and forced them of the area. just because we humans are more intelligent and have guns doesn’t give us the right to kill off wild animal, take over their territory and impose our way of life on their land. the native americans were able to coexist with these wild animals for thousands of years without causing it to go extinct. so residents living in the area will have to learn to coexist otherwise consider moving closer to city and stay away from wild nature places if you have no respect for wild animals.

I'd like to see the detailed studies regarding how many people will be expected to be killed by the bears. This is a serious and realistic question, the results of which should be decided by the local people that will be impacted.

Keep them out. This wound be a disaster. Move the bears to Oakland, Portland and Seattle

It's a NO!

Send the Bears to Seattle !!!

Maybe we should build a wall?

They're like the 2nd most dangerous land predator on the planet.

There are grizzly bear populations close enough to these areas that they could reintroduce themselves on their own. They’re not. This is a fool’s errand.

Every time WA state does crud like this it is a huge failure!

We just finished the "Westside Trail" in BC from the hot springs to the edge of ranchland. We're considering the "Running of the Grizzlies " up here. If you live , you win, but all you have to do is be faster than ONE of your slower friends.

Soon, Bears may begin to have rights like cyborgs. Who knows?

I don’t think it’s a good idea. It’s only a matter of time before something happens. Let’s see how deaf Biden will be.

F NO. Black bears are enough.

Let’s ask Joe Rogan

good thing wa state is open carry... move along.

This is my theory & only my theory as to why they are really pushing this Grizzly Bear thing; Washington State in the closet State to Alaska, Alaska is most likely the spot Russia would come in for the attack, I think the Military is doing something in Alaska & had to relocate some Bears because the Military is building something on those Bears Territory, so they took the bears to the closet State to Alaska, to make sure the Bears wouldn't be back. Just my own personal opinion.

Yeah, 👎🏻... i can just see the Please Don't Feed The Bears, cut scene to grisly bear charging at hikers.

But, I hear the grizzlies are strongly in favor of their reintroduction!

I don't know why they are wasting their time interviewing the people this will affect on a daily basis. Seattle and Olympia will make the decision for them, I mean they know what's best for the whole state. Them folks are edumacated.

It’s too dangerous to introduce grizzlies in WA. As they grow in population, there won’t be much preventing grizzlies from migrating into cities, towns, and agricultural communities endangering the lives of people/livestock/farm animals/pets...best to let grizzlies populate/roam free in a large remote area like AK

Put them on the southern boarder! Plenty of free range food entering illegally into Texas.

Bring timber wolves with them.

Do you want to live closer to nature or not, country dwellers?

Worried about bear attacks, you’ll have more of a chance of a human attacking you then a bear. Especially in This state. Stay out of the woods if your worried Mr Karen. Bear attacks are so rare and human attacks happen everyday who you worried about.

They were not ready for us and we took over there land people as in human don’t understand

Bears were there first

Do not population has grown & they haved moved on too another home. It will hurt them & our public. Keep them out!

Yes bring them

I am worried for the safety of the grizzly bears that are going to be dropped into the cascade mountain range region and be surrounded by hunters who will be looking for any reason to kill them. The regular food supply for these bears will be whitetail deer and Roosevelt elk. If they are on the west side of the cascade range, they will hopefully find salmon spawning grounds. But if they are indeed existing on the western side of the cascade range, They will encounter a large population of human beings. Those human beings will complain that they were attacked, Then forest rangers will be charged with hunting them down and killing them. I think that this is a recipe for disaster with respect to the grizzly bears. Grizzly bears need to exist in a very remote area very far away from the human population. There are many places up in canada where they might not ever encounter human population. Then of course, there is alaska where they have a very large area to exist without ever seeing any human beings. If grizzly bears felt that they could exist in the cascade range, They would have already entered the area long ago before we had any time to even Think about reintroducing them to the area.

This is their land in the first place. Let the grizzlies live!!!

BRING THEM BACK. Grizzlies aren’t as dangerous as people think- they tend to stay away and at worst, bluff charge you. I’ve been bluff charged a few times and scared off a grizzly. Scary- yes, but let’s not sterilize our forests for weak men.

I choose bears over humans any day.

Get black bears they r just annoying not much for killing people...

Woods are for bears...... Humans ruin everything !!!!! Grizzles were here first.

No grizzlies they r dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!

People forget that Grizzlies are cannibals. They have a history of eating other grizzlies' cub from time to time. Unlike Black Bear, Grizzlies and Polar Bears are some that looks at humans as food, People see Grizzlies and Polar Bears as an opportunity for tik tok video or a nice little selfie.
