It's a safe bet that the residents of several Northern Washington communities are not voting for Joe Biden next November.
The Biden administration, apparently possessed by the spirits of dead grizzly bears, wants to go ahead with a plan to release up to seven apex predators in the Northern Cascade Mountain National Park every year for the next decade. It's hoped that there will be 200 grizzlies in the park by the end of the decade. Seeing a grizzly bear from afar is one of nature's most magnificent sights. But the 200 residents who crowded into a hearing about the government's plan to release the beasts

Great way to keep the crowds of Seattle hipsters and Instagramers away on weekends.

If you don’t need grizzlies and you don’t need wolves, maybe Washington State is not the place for you. That being said, the government needs to come to terms with how to manage these beasts. They are predators and they will kill if they are hungry or threatened. Montana allows farmers and ranchers to kill wolves if they come on their land. My advice to this community: Stock up on bear spray.

I guess if you want people out of an area, you could fire storm them out, weaponized the weather and send hurricane's to blow them out or release grizzlies, to wipe out their crops, kill their livestock, and frighten them out.

They kill people.
This is why we worked very long and hard to exterminate them.
It is irresponsible to expand their range. Negligent homicide, WHEN they kill.
WHEN, not if.
I've been on the ground hiking in Alaska, miles from any road, no trees beyond 4" diameter firs, and seen a griz foraging for food 150 yds away.
Knowing that the .44 pistol you have is your ONLY option if the great bear decides that you are "in his space" is chilling in a way you cannot really grasp unless you've been there. Bear spray didn't exist then. I'm a darned good pistol shot, but I hope to never need to prove it against an angry griz.

The "official" who pushed for this should have a few bears placed in his/her own backyard. Either that or let that person spend a few weeks in Cascade National Park with no bear spray, or firearms.

If you want to live a nightmare, just let a game warden catch you violating any of hundreds of "regulations" involving game animals, birds or fish. The "government"claims absolute rights to anything crawling, swimming, flying or walking in the forest. Even if you have to kill a bear in self defense...you better be able to prove it! The "rights" of the bear are extensive.

It's too bad we don't treat humans who kill humans (and not to eat them) like we treat WILD animals.

Releasing hundreds of these apex predators near human civilization just might be a bad idea. I wouldn't want to be a farmer or rancher and have to deal with added grizzlies.
Bear spray is potent, but not necessarily effective against an attacking bear. Sometimes the bear just gets really annoyed, and mauls the user of the bear spray. Effective defense from brown (grizzly) bears involves, invariably, large caliber weapons with as much capacity as possible. (AR-15 does not qualify! Far too weak for big game, and illegal for deer hunting in ten states because it's not deadly enough to provide a clean, ethical kill.)
Huge caliber pistols are effective, but the recoil is hard to control. At a local outdoor range, just testing, I once fired a .44 Magnum (S&W Model 29) one-handed. The recoil was over my head, and I'm not weak. Trying to fire several times rapidly at a charging bear, and hitting, might be impossible with, say, your garden variety .460 S&W Magnum pistol. A rifle is better. If you're really strong, a .45-70 Government (the only good "Government") 1896 lever action would work. Best caliber for grizzly bear is probably .375 H&H, which is the minimum allowable caliber for rogue African elephants. Bear hunters on Kodiak Island or the nearby Alaska Peninsula where we find the monster 1,000+ pound ten footers pay tens of thousands for hunting licenses, guides, and supplies. Old boars (20+ years) are the preferred targets. They're cannibalistic and like eating cubs. And they can weigh up to 1,700 pounds! Trouble is a bruin.
