Grizzly bears: ‘Wait until salmon runs have been restored’

Re: “Grizzlies once roamed the Cascades; some people want them to return” [Nov. 26, A1]:

I’ve been round brown bears in Alaska and in Yellowstone Nationwide Park many instances. In each locations these animals proceed to thrive as a result of their main and conventional meals supply stays plentiful. However to reintroduce an apex predator into an atmosphere the place that meals supply is not accessible can be an invite for undesirable human interplay.

For these hooked up to the romantic notion that these magnificent creatures belong in our yard, wait till salmon runs have been restored and the bears are not tempted by our livestock and our rubbish cans.
