A page right out of James Buchanan’s playbook.

The Biden administration is accelerating a proposed plan to translocate grizzly bear populations in the federally-managed North Cascades National Park, which borders rural communities in northern Washington State.

In a joint announcement, the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service published a final environmental impact statement evaluating its options for grizzly bear management in the region. The filing lists the federal government’s preferred course of action as the translocation of grizzly bears from other ecosystems with an “experimental population designation.”

“Designation of grizzly bears released into the U.S. portion of the [North Cascades Ecosystem] as a [nonessential experimental population] would provide authorized agencies with greater management flexibility should conflict situations arise,” the agencies wrote in the filing. “Any management actions would be consistent with the overall goal of establishing and conserving the NEP while promoting social tolerance and human safety.”

Like James Buchanan appeased slaveholders, Biden appeases environmentalists. This means grizzlies (which are designated as an endangered species) will not only kill and consume area farm and ranch animals but also increases the likelihood of grizzly bear attacks on humans. It has happened even when endangered species protections are extended to wolf populations too.

This policy actually kills two birds with one stone for environmentalists. Wild, predator animals help reduce the food supply (like meat and dairy products) and can kill humans simultaneously.
