Yeah, there are only a few pockets of grizzlies left in the lower 48, and one of them connects to their larger territory in Canada. They used to roam throughout Washington's Cascades but are completely gone, so much so that there are efforts to reintroduce them in the NCNP soon.
- lazystar 2y agoReintroduce.... grizzlies? I know the wolf reintroduction was beneficial, but wolves have killed a grand total of 2 humans in north america in the 21st century. Grizzlies, in contrast, have 11 kills in half a decade (2020- 2025). That's an order of magnitude higher of the danger each one poses, so I'm curious if the grizzly reintroduction yaysayer arguments are using wolve reintroduction as a positive example.

- trillic 2y ago15 people have been killed in car accidents in the United States since you posted this comment. But yeah, letting wildlife live in its natural range is the problem.
- potato3732842 2y agoI'm all for reintroducing grizzlies, heck reintroduce east coast bison, but you're very much missing the benefit side of the cost benefit analysis.
- lazystar 2y agosuch a reddit comment, ugh. and I got downvoted for asking a question that you didnt like... another reddit trait. Please read the hackernews forum rules.
- nick3443 2y agoIf they reintroduce them, they should at least let us hunt them so they remember to be scared of humans.
- throaway1989 2y agoThis is pretty hysterical. How many grizzlies do humans kill a year?
