  • Now is the time to restore the North Cascades grizzly bear!
    The North Cascades Ecosystem is the only remaining grizzly bear population on the West Coast of the contiguous United States. Although grizzlies have lived in the North Cascades for thousands of years, biologists estimate that fewer than 10 remain today, making it the most at-risk bear population in North America.
    After decades of research, the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies have released proposals to support recovery of this iconic species. This is welcome news, and a historic conservation opportunity. But just how do we restore these magnificent animals?
    Follow the story of grizzly bear recovery in Montana’s Cabinet Mountains, through the lens of ecologist and bear expert Chris Morgan. Grizzly recovery in the Cabinet Mountains, done through science and community involvement, could serve as a model for the North Cascades.

    Here in northwest Wyoming the bears have recovered. Now they are spreading out and coming into conflict with people: raiding orchards around Cody, livestock in the Green River area, etc. They have been seen within a short hike of my pasture in the Snake River Range for the first time in over fifty years.
    Every plan for the Wyoming Game and Fish to manage their population results in a lawsuit.
    Currently the management plan has been ruined. There are, I think, FOUR lawsuits pending.
    This is what will happen in the Cascades if the bears are reintroduced. Your lives will be managed by rich city folks, the Sierra Club, and federal judges.

      Raiding orchards? Do you not mean they came across some food that will enable them to survive another day? They dont set out to rob us they just want to survive. And can people not protect livestock in this day and age?

    • @Arkeze
      @Arkeze 6 лет назад +4

      If bears are coming into contact with people and eating from orchards and killing livestock then not enough is being done to manage them and people are often a large contributor to bears coming closer and closer to humans by giving them some sort of incentive to approach populated areas. I have lived in Washington for 26 years and it’s wonderful seeing the bear population rise once again and it’s beautiful and just as they were here first and they are one of the most magnificent creatures to ever live and to see them die out without even attempting to save them because of some apples and livestock would just be sad and tragic. Now when it comes to potential loss of human life then that’s when I say let’s go back to the drawing board as I value human life over any animal. Obviously it needs to be done safely, and I don’t have the answers but we need to at least try.

    @the.original.throwback 7 лет назад +58

    This video sales pitch for releasing Grizzly Bears in Washington state claims that most people want the bear population restored, but the IDEA of living with bears is not the same as LIVING with bears. Most of Washington's population lives in the Puget Sound area and holds political sway over the rest of the state, including decisions about the reality of Grizzly Bear population restoration in the North Cascades. Unfortunately, people living close to the bears' range are comparatively few in number and wield little or no political power. However, their kids do have to catch school buses in the dark and their kids will have to be at risk of encountering a Grizzly while going about other normal activities, as will all others living in the region. That is the reality of ACTUALLY living with bears. It is too bad that a more fair way to decide where bears should be released is not possible. The process would be to poll each community and those that want bears get them. If, for example, a majority of Bellevue's citizens approved releasing Grizzlies then satisfy their IDEA of living with bears by releasing some in Bellevue for their pleasure and edification. Of course, that notion is ridiculous for obvious reasons, but is it less ridiculous for people living hundreds of miles away to approve inflicting a potentially lethal hazard on folks who basically have no say in the matter? Why is this necessary? Who really benefits and in what way? Or is all of this in support of the IDEA of wildness and nature to be enjoyed through the window of a safe, warm SUV?

    I think bears are awesome and I love watching videos of them. Certainly the grizzlies. But we cannot forget that these are apex predators. Like someone else already commented. The cascades are already filling up with humans and to introduce more top predators into the area is asking for trouble for both humans and the poor animals that will be killed once they become a nuisance.

    Newly released bear to other bears, " Man, You won't believe what happened to me. I was cruising in my hood and I found this fresh pile of food in this tunnel shaped garbage can. So I thought, free grits, why not? When I grabbed the food the garbage can tried to eat me. Then, and this is where it gets weird, aliens showed up and made my unconscious. Then, (in a whispered tone) I think they did experiments on me. Anyway, my hoopadoop was really sore when I came to. Then the garbage can took off and, I know you guys won't believe me but I was traveling at least 2-3 times faster in the garbage can than I have ever have before.. When it finally stopped, the garbage can spit me out, and I had this ugly, ugly thing around my neck. Man, I am really scared. I don't know where I am. None of this area looks familiar.

    • @sav300
      @sav300 6 лет назад +2

      jeger nihighsa and have you taken into account hunting? Some people like myself live of the game we take. So not only do game have to worry about hunting pressure from humams, they now have another predator to worry about. Ecosystems are not balanced when you add something else to them that has not been present for many years. It's humans interfering with nature. If they venture in on their own then that's how it works. Now us adding them because they "once were here" and not factoring in our human effect on prey and populations, stupidity!
      Why not introduce them into California? After all there were animals where all.those people once were. That part of your argument makes no sense. It's big populated cities that influence these decisions. They have no idea of what it's like to be in nature and see the results first hand.
      I'm not speaking all from opinion here, I spend more time than most in the mountains and have seen first hand the result on not controlling our bears, cougar, and introducing wolves. Many of the places I grew up hunting are not the same and it's not from hunting pressure. In "theory" their plans should work. A computer analysis and prediction is not the same as mother nature. It does not account for unexpect harsh winters, dry summers, fires, and so forth. We need to stop trying to shape our thoughts on how it once was because times have changed!

    These are not black bears were talking about, which will run away from you 99.9% of the time. I’m sure planting grizzly bears in places around people that they really shouldn’t be, is a great success for the BEARS, but if YOU’RE the one walking through the timber in Lincoln county etc. & you run into a sow grizzly with cups, depending on her mood & the distance you are from her, she can be totally unpredictable! more often than not, if she’s close enough, and you show any fear by turning your back & giving her the upper hand, she going to charge & depending how you respond to that encounter, will determine whether or not you come out of the woods alive that day, and the smaller her Cubs are or the earlier in the spring it is, the more dangerous & unpredictable can she’ll be. Also, if you run into a mature boar grizzly & you just happen to be too close & startle him, his natural instinct is to attack you, and if he does, depending on how close you were/how bad you startled him, will determine whether or not you live or die on that day. &&& don’t believe that bullshit that bear spray will always save you. In the situations I just explain, those bears will run right through bear spray & not even pay any attention to it! On certain days it might save you but it all depends on the circumstance. If you have a gun, it’s better to shoot in the air once or twice & stand your ground because it’s extremely hard to shoot & kill a charging grizzly bear before that bear reaches you, even if he’s charging from only 50 yards away, and if you wound that bear & can’t kill him, your problem just got a lot worse! Only time you want to shoot that grizzly is if he’s attacking you or is extremely close and going to. This is a very stupid idea to be planting grizzlies all over places where people normally like to camp, fish, and hike etc. because it’s just an accident waiting to happen.

Years ago experienced hunters (guides etc.) In certain out doors magazines had a ongoing dialog with field biologist about the aggressive behaviour of black bears in northwestern Canada and Alaska. The back and forth was basically some state biologists felt that the hunters were not credentialed or qualified to speak as experts and hunters felt Thier real time experience made them qualified to defend their position in the public domain. Valid positions on both sides met somewhere in the middle. As it turne out the hunters were far more pragmatic and realistic then most biologists in determining black bear behaviour.

    extirpation in Oregon, the Cascades, and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado should have never ever been allowed to happen, the reason for this is even with population growth and it being 2021 all those areas I cited are still great Grizzly habitat with little to no people and plenty of food, extirpation of the Grizzly bear in the lower 48 of the US is greatest crime of the last century
