I posted an earlier article on this.

3 Responses to Alaska Board of Game now deliberating whether to hunt grizzlies at McNeil Falls

  1. Alan Sachanowski says:

    People who want to find out what they can do to help can go to: http://www.akwildlife.org/bears.htm

  2. Rusty Williams says:

    Yet another reason my wife and I will refrain from visiting Alaska. Guess they also are in need of a regime change. Maybe you’ll be able to shot them from a helicopter. I found the web cam last year at National Geographic (I believe that is where it was) maybe we’ll get to watch.

  3. Saw on the DEFENDERS site today, that the area will remain protected. News almost too good to believe.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
