I went to this meeting - the tension was so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. The room was filled with ranchers who raise America's future steaks and legs of lamb. The general attitude of the biologists was 'it doesn't matter how you feel, its going to happen anyway.'

"We're here! We're queer! We don't want any more bears!"

But Grizzlies are our friends...

Thats the way they are.

These bureucrats have no respect for their boss.

[glorgau]

Hell, lets go one better and just limit them to zoos. Same goes for all that other pesky "wildlife".

[Mr. Jeeves]

Conservationists were in a distinct minority.

I think the author meant "environmental extremists". No conservationist would favor releasing grizzly bears in populated areas.

Hope somebody told the grizzleys that....(to stay in the park)

Is this near Glacier Natl Park? I was there in October and became interested in grizzly attacks. I read "Night of the Grizzly" which was fascinating in a sick way. We had lecturers on bears and wolves. I think any bear or wolf should be shot if it is on private ranchland and is a threat to livelihoods.

I read the way to tell if a bear is a black bear or a grizzly is to climb up a tree. If it climbs up after you it's a black bear. If it pulls the tree out of the ground it's a grizzly.

I suggest a trap and release program. NYC and San Francisco are woefully short in the environmentalist/grizzly ratio.
