Washington has been talking east west split as well

I live in Washington state and for years opposed releasing grizzly bears in the state. It is a long standing conflict between urban dwellers who support grizzly bear release and Eastern Washington residents who live where the grizzly bears would be active. Then I completely reversed my opinion. I am now totally in favor of grizzly bear releases with one caveat; each community, statewide, votes for or against grizzly bear release with the understanding that the bears will be released in the communities that voted for them. Obviously, the idea is impractical and won't happen but it does point to the crux of the problem. Why should someone living in Seattle get to tell someone living and ranching in Tonasket that they have to put up with grizzly bear predations and, even worse, the potential threats to their family's safety? For the urbanite in their nice safe SUV on a road trip through Eastern Washington, it is a big thrill to see a grizzly bear meandering toward the cattle that represents the livelihood of those who live there. We have to either get better at fair governance in America or face the consequences of the slow burn continuing to develop between city and rural citizens.

You should be happy you can live in a nice quiet part of Washington. Why should some urbanite have to deal with factories, pollution, crime, traffic, higher taxes just so the State of Washington can take a piece to provide for infrastructure for you. You let us all know when bears deaths reach the levels of deaths in urban areas caused by crime, accidents, etc. People in Seattle deal with that everyday as best they can.

@barbara karnowski People are killed by other people more than they're killed by grizzly bears or any other type of wild animal, for that matter. Humans are far more dangerous than grizzly bears, and a grizzly bear isn't capable of committing the heinous acts(like torture) humans are capable of. Bears can't be evil like humans can, and it's extremely foolish to be more afraid of bears than dangerous people. A person's chances of being killed by another human being are much higher than their chances of being killed by a bear. Also, most bears don't even attack people when encountered by them, just so you know. I suggest you read up on statistics about grizzly bears before condemning them to live in only a few small fragmented national parks. Did you know that grizzly bears used to live all over the Western United States before Europeans made them regionally extinct throughout most of the West? For the most part Native Americans coexisted peacefully with grizzly bears for thousands of years, and they weren't routinely slaughtered by the bears either. Actually, it was the exact opposite because Native Americans hunted them far more than they themselves were hunted by the bears. An interesting fact is that the flag of California actually has a grizzly bear on it, but the last grizzly bear in the entire state was shot and killed in the early 1900s. I can't imagine how you can be so selfish as to think wild animals should be forced to live in just a few small areas because they're "scary." If you're ever in an area where they live, you should still be far more afraid of your own species than you should be of grizzly bears or any other type of wild animal.

Actually, they're the exact same subspecies. Canis lupus occidentalis, also known as the northwestern wolf, is one of four grey wolf subspecies native to North America. Canis lupus arctos (the arctic wolf) is found in the far north of Canada, Canis lupus baileyi (the mexican wolf) is found in the southwest and southern Midwest of the US and most of Mexico, Canis lupus nubilus (great plains wolf) is found in the Midwest US and some of northeast Canada, and Canis lupus occidentalis is found along the western third of North America. This is the most recent classification according to genetic evidence. You may be thinking of the outdated classification of North American grey wolves, where there were 20+ subspecies. Genetic evidence has now shown that these subspecies did not differ enough to be considered separate subspecies, and they were combined into the four subspecies I mentioned above. In the southeast there's the red wolf (Canis rufus rufus), a separate species more related to coyotes than grey wolves, and in the northeast there's the Algonquin wolf (Canis lycaon or Canis rufus lycaon), which is either a subspecies of red wolf or a separate species closely related to the red wolf. Hope this helps!

The problem with too many wolves is not an Oregon issue alone. In Michigans Upper peninsula the wolf numbers have increased dramatically in recent years. I spoke with a conservation officer recently that told me the whitetail deer numbers in the eastern UP are down to 1 deer per 8 square miles! Predation on livestock and family pets has also become a huge issue. I see a lot of the same problems here in Michigan as in Oregon where people from the big cities that control the elections dont really understand the or care about rural population concerns and way of life.

What Wolves would do is remove the coyotes... And coyotes are a *much* more manageable predator than Wolves are. Anyway, the wolves coming down from the north are not well adapted to the South. The wolves that lived in the south before extirpation had smaller bodies, long legs, smaller pack sizes... Much more like coyotes.

LGD's are being widely and rapidly adopted in many parts of the west and northwest, by both small and large producers, and often with the support of research and instruction from land grant universities. Texas doesn't even have Wolves yet, and our sheep producers are already funding an LGD Program at Texas A&M. Unfortunately, wolves expanding into the northern states have evolved to take down large game like moose and elk. This means large wolves that form large packs - with 10 being average and 20 not unusual. Even with large aggressive dogs like the Alabai, you need your dogs to substantially outnumber the local wolf population. Sending dogs own in insufficient numbers risks massive casualties of both dogs and livestock. Packs of sufficient size to reliably deter attacks by these wolves can only be afforded by very large livestock producers, so wolves add an additional stress to family farms.
