Re: “Grizzlies as soon as roamed the Cascades; some folks need them again” [Nov. 26, A1]:
I’ve been round brown bears in Alaska and in Yellowstone Nationwide Park many occasions. In each locations, these animals proceed to thrive as a result of their major and conventional meals supply remains to be considerable. However reintroducing an apex predator into an setting the place that meals supply is not obtainable can be an invite to undesirable human interplay.
For these connected to the romantic notion that these magnificent creatures belong in our backyards, wait till the salmon runs have been restored and the bears are not tempted by our livestock and our rubbish cans.
