There was talk about re-introducing Grizzly Bears into Washington State and I remember one advocate said essentially that humans have killed far more Grizzly Bears than bears have killed humans. So, this is pay pack time. It is only fair.

To which you reply, "YOU FIRST."

This is the link to a seriously disturbing website that opened my eyes to the dangers of re-introducing wolves into clean areas. There’s a reason the wolf is the Big Bad in so many fairy tales.

Extremely graphic photos of dead/partially eaten critters, so don’t look if you can’t handle it.

I imagine the US/Mexico border could also use a few roaming packs of wolves.

“Dinosaurs to be reintroduced at random to Earth!”

Do they taste good?

I want them “reintroduced” into urban areas. Let those advocating this stupidity have to live with the consequences for a change.

Y’know, if a guy had some tranquilizer darts and a box truck...he could drop off a couple of grizzlies at Waterfront Park...I’m just sayin’...

I mean, who’s to say they weren’t trying to get there anyhow?

First place should be Central Park in NYC. Use them for a trial run.

Everybody wins.

I know of a guy that had to give up use of half of his land because wolves killed his stock. Tens of thousands of wolves released means hundreds of thousands of dead sheep and cows and many people.

Why stop there? How about reintroducing mountain lions back all over their historical range?

Mountain lions are already plentiful in many states.

Kinda tough. Russians ate an old woolly mammoth and got sick.

You know, I read in the USA Today about 3 years ago (I never read that rag anymore) that some environmentalists want to “reintroduce” tigers, lions and elephants to North America. They say we used to have them about 10,000 years ago or something. Yeah, talk about insanity. They accuse conservatives of being ridicules for wanting to go back to Reagan, but they want to take us back to the stone age.

Where are they magically going to get tens of thousands of grey wolves? Are they in a warehouse somewhere?

Looks like the enviro nazis of the Center for Biological Diversity have graduated from pot smoking to nightly meetings at opium dens.
