Many people think the purpose of the ESA is to keep species on it forever when it fact it clearly states that when a species has recovered it will be removed from the list. Professional biologists have determined the grizzly has recovered to a point where it can be turned over to the wildlife depts of the various states for management. However some armchair expert that has probably never got out of the city long enough to even see a live grizzly thinks they know better.
We should take 20-30 grizzlies to NYC and turn them loose in Central Park and let them spread out. Do the same thing in downtown LA and Chicago. Won't be long before the idiots begin to understand how managing the population of apex predators is a really sound idea!
