...I'm none-too-enthusiastic about the possibilities of encountering a grizzly the next time I'm on a trail. Sorry, but general environmental concerns take a back seat to not wanting to be eaten. And, frankly, the backlash you're going to see up here the first time a tourist or hiker gets killed by a grizzly is not only going to go against the NPS, but against "liberal environmentalists" who "think bears deserve to live more than humans."

This move makes as much sense as stocking the waters off the southern California beaches with Great White Sharks.
