It's really complex. And the problem is people are very dug in on their sides. You know, you have people that are very dug in with the animal liberation idea. They're very dug in with PETA and veganism and dug in with anti-hunting. And then there's people that are ranchers. And then there's people that are very dug in to animals are our property.

closer together with the conservation biologist groups so that they can kind of work together because you're right they're so polarized well there's also um the problem is like we were talking about with bc i didn't really finish my thought but the reason why they outlawed bear hunting in bc is because the high population centers are all urban

So people don't have any experience with grizzly bears trying to eat their dogs or grizzly bears killing hikers. They don't experience it. If they did, they'd be terrified. It's a giant predator, and you have no chance if it catches you out in the wild. I don't think we should ever kill off all the grizzly bears, but they should control the populations.

And the way to control the populations ethically... is you do it through hunting.

As much as this seems counterintuitive to people that love wildlife, the right way to do it is you have informed, well-schooled biologists that really do a great job of managing the numbers that are in the area, and then you have people that spend enormous amounts of money to hunt those things, and then that money goes into maintaining the population and make sure that it's at a healthy balance.
