US seeks end to Yellowstone grizzly protections

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Yet after years of growth, the grizzly population plateaued in recent years, and some wildlife advocates say it's too soon to allow hunting. Also opposed are dozens of American Indian tribes that view the grizzly as a sacred animal.

1. It's amazing to me that humans think that 600-1,000 of any other species is "enough"

but seven billion humans isn't. If you heard that a city had only 600 residents would that seem like "enough"? I wonder if the people trying to end wildlife protections would think that having only 600 voters on their side is "enough"?


My car was struck by a semi going 50 mph two years ago, then was broken into recently. The glovebox won't close, a mirror is stuck, the driver's side of the car had to be rebuilt. Various bits and pieces no longer work, but the car still runs. Then last week it lost a bolt on the undercarrage and the whole thing felt like it was coming apart. One small part. That's what out ecosystem is like; we keep removing pieces, expecting it to continue to work for us, but eventually an important part is lost and then everything will start to unravel. Let's not wait to act!

2. This isn't right.

We leave no room for nature to exist. All we think of is humanity, our greed.
