The Biden administration's plan to relocate grizzly bear populations to rural parts of Washington State will have a devastating impact on agriculture and livestock in the region while posing a significant danger to local communities, a fifth generation cattle producer warned.
Residents of Washington State are doubling down on their concerns surrounding the federal government's plan to translocate grizzly bears, an apex predator, to the federally-managed North Cascades National Park, after the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the strategy their preferred plan for grizzly bear management in the region.
The North Cascades National Park borders rural communities in northern Washington State. If approved, the plan would not only put the livelihoods of locals at risk, but it will pose a serious danger to families who live in the area, Neil Kayser, member of the Washington Cattleman's Association and longtime cattle producer, told Laura Ingraham on Monday.
"There’s a real danger of our livestock …of the people that are working and living in this area that they’re going to bring the bears into. It’s a real threat and danger to our families," Kayser said on "The Ingraham Angle."
Despite widespread opposition, the government's relocation proposal was accelerated last week with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service publishing a final environmental impact statement listing the translocation of grizzly bears from other ecosystems with an "experimental population designation" as their ideal management strategy.

If there's a way to monitor them and keep their population size managed. Otherwise, they'll become like Pablo's cocaine hippos.

Never underestimate biden’s ability to completely screw anything up.
Does Washington really need grizzlies? I enjoy wildlife from afar but often wonder if every species really needs to continue until the world ends. Especially apex predator species. If there’s too many deer/moose or whatever large prey species that grizzlies like, can’t man just hunt more and feed people instead?
What does he think the purpose is?
Can they start in your backyard?

Border invasion?
Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
That's part of the intent, not an unforeseen circumstance.
