Delisting of grizzlies

[Anguscollegekid]

Anybody have any thoughts on this or how it will affect you. Been doing some research for a class debate, doesn't appear to be all it's cracked up to be but I would really appreciate anyone's thoughts or experiences.

Absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.

I've seen a comedy show where this woman talks about being on the D-List since she's not an A-Lister, is that what you're talking about? :?:

We have the Memphis Grizzles who play in the NBA, have they been kicked out of the league? :?:

I'm being a goof, I have no idea what exactly you're asking, and then again it probably doesn't effect me one way or the other.

That makes 2 of us.

He is talking about de-listing, as in taking off the endangered species list.

People who live in bear country would for the most part welcome this move as they would be able to deal with bears who become a problem. People who live in the cities wouldn't like it because they have watched too many Diseny movies and think bears are all fuzzy and cuddly.

Beyond that I will leave comment to those who might actually live in bear country.

Well, they may be rare where some of you folks come from - but I have seen more than a few in Alberta.

Could have shot at least a dozen over the past few years.

Timber wolves as well.

I know what your talking about. The Griz population is stable in MT. And the state would like to have them de listed from endangered to threatened.

You know, like the Gray Wolves. De listing would make it legal to kill them if their a threat to you or your lively hood.

Still protected but classed more as a game animal.

Yes I think the state should allow limited hunting as long as there's not a threat to the population of grizzlies.

I think they should let the biologists make the call and leave politics out of it.

I couldn;'t agree more!
Where is the smiley for someone applauding?

I know some people would think I am cruel for saying this.. but I could care less about bears.. I bascially think we could do without them. All I see them do is eat food that people could eat.. And not too many people eat bear meat.
I mean seriously, what good are they? someone care to answer this????

Yea especially if your into eating grubs and berries and raw fish the bears primary diet.Z

That's funny Z....

The first thought that came to mind was that I hope that this doesn't open the door for another wacko wanting to shoot students and teachers...
University of Montana, Missoula, Montana... Home of the Grizzly
This would not set well with the locals...

 

[MillIronQH]

JC...There is one basic difference. I lived in Montana awhile and I don't know of anyone up there that doesn't own and know how to use guns. Trying to shoot up UM would be like trying to shoot up the Special Warfare School. I went to U of Wyo. Same thing.Z

Ya, I was talking about removing the grizzly bear from the endangered species list, I believe the official announcement came out April 4. In theory, it would allow people to shoot them, I believe, but probably only in very small numbers so it might not be a whole lot of benefit anyway. As it stands, Defenders of Wildlife reimburse producers for sheep or livestock killed by grizzlies so I'm not sure if that would continue if they were delisted. Of course, they have to be confirmed too and you get the market value, not lifetime value of a cow for example.

One of the problems with getting paid for your cow is you have to proof it was killed by a grizzly. In that part of the world with cattle out on range you might not know a cow was killed for a long time. By the time you find it, the bear evidence is all gone. And if you did happen on to a fresh bear kill (the kind you could proof a bear killed it) it is likely that the bear would still be there and take a dim view on your presence. In that case you will be wishing for a big gun. Ten seconds later, if you are still with us, a delisted bear would mean a lot less paper work.
