Hunters soon could be chasing grizzly bears across the ridges of the Rocky Mountains, leaving three states to come up with plans to ensure the iconic species won't be snuffed out so soon after recovering from threats to their survival.
The Obama administration in March proposed lifting protections for the more than 700 grizzlies around Yellowstone National Park. The bears have been considered a threatened species since 1975, but wildlife officials say their population has sufficiently recovered to turn over management to Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Other grizzly populations in Montana, Idaho and Washington state will remain protected. The grizzlies' Alaska cousin, the brown bear, is not considered a threatened or endangered species and is hunted regularly.
Yay, more unchewably tough meat! On the other hand, as a top predator its recovery does endorse conservation efforts over the past half-century.

Insightful? +5? Seriously?
Surely even an SJW of the highest order can figure out for themselves that this is the equivalent of telling people who want to cross the Atlantic that they need to learn to swim. Want your appendix removed? Vodka for anaesthesia, and the broken vodka bottle for surgery!
This doesn't even pass the laugh test in the field of moral philosophy, let alone technology, economics or human development.
You can do better than that, mods.
