Must be some MFWL office needs a new stuffed Griz?  With the Cabinet Mountains only a 2 hour
drive due West…the young male should have been given a better chance, The article says it
all….a SUB ADULT….wandering around looking for….food & Mama. The blood lines from Lincoln
area would have worked well near Libby.
Time for Manley to retire & let some new thinking run the show…..he is tainted with his limited
views.

The Cabinet-Yaak ecosystem doesn’t need anymore of the FWP’s PROBLEM bears. That’s
like moving one pedophile priest from one location to another (like the catholic church has been
doing for decades).

Oh your right 56…let’s kill all of them!  We sure don’t need no predators stalking our birdseed
right?  Just shoot em all on site…no problem!  And let’s see, what can we do to help the rest of
the country with their animal starvation problems…oh yeah…shoot them of course:

And it is about time, by the way, that bears and other wildlife are trying to find their way back to
their historical habitat. That way maybe Montana won’t get stuck with every wolf, grzz, ferret,
green toothed falcon or whatever “endnagered” species there is out there. Just think, the out of
states from California and New york wouldn’t have to spend all their time, money and energy,
to come all the way out here in the Last best Place to see all these wildlife creatures that they
cherish from afar. They could just look out their back window or from the top of the
skyscrapers…I long for that world.

This is a sad situation. Another example of how relocating wildlife often doesn’t work out well. 
After being captured and enduring stressful circumstances before being dropped in a place it
doesn’t know, the animal is disoriented and trying to find sources of food, water and shelter in
unfamiliar territory.  Of course it will travel and of course he or she will try to find any
convenient source of food along the way while trying to survive.  Keeping food sources away
and prevention is the best solution.

LOL.  Disoriented.  Yeah right. 

Why or how do they find their way back to where they were so fast?  Over and over.

Food water and shelter?  HAHAHAHAHA.  OK, you do know they are wild animals right?  You do know
Goldilocks didn’t really walk into a HOUSE and try the porridge right? That was a fairytale.

And Jimbo…you do know that Goldilocks (human) entered a bears (wild animals) house and
proceeded to eat their food…Now let’s see…is that a fairytale or is it the real world?  Are you so
blind that you cannot see what wild animals do when they have been forced out of their natural
environment by hunters and trappers…what would you do…where would you go…what would
you eat??????????????????
