Just made national news - at least on OAN.
$5,000 donated by someone (I missed that part) for "relocation".
JEEZE!
I mean- my "yard" brown bears eat them things!
That's what people don't understand [bleep] do gooders you move them 1. Brn Bear is going to make short order of the cubs 2. that happy little family as the anchorage weirdo call them will be whittled down to 2 maybe 3 total

Mindless dumphuks who choose to jump on the emotional rhetoric of the liberal media.

Walker is an idiot and all those enlightened folks thinking Mallott was not proof positive of that gave us something special...
If Parnell is Captain Zero, Walker is well into negative integers...
Do I even need to say.......predictable?
Expensive feel-good move, and probably a death sentence anyway, being a mom with 4 cubs to protect, put into an unfamiliar, already claimed territory......
Relocating wildlife is best left to the animals in charge, barring human interference, they seem to work that out betwixt themselves, and they have been for centuries.
Ptarmigan: Read the replies to the polar bear post, typical responses from the uneducated city dwelling tree huggers. Any chance you might take them fishing with you, with a pocket full of rocks to toss in the brush while they relieve themselves, just to see if their opinions of "bears" changes any?

As much fun as it sounds I think things would end badly. Good chance someone would be "walking the plank" and it wouldn't be me!
Yeah, well - there actually has to BE a plank.....
How long before they are back in the same neighborhood?
Gotta wonder the over/under on that!
Come back they will... or die trying...
Come back they will... or die trying...
Not if they move them to Kodiak I., though they will undoubtedly die, even without trying.
A few years ago a Brown Bear was trapped in Cordova and taken to Montague Island,a few weeks later it was back to it's old haunts. Afters it's short vacation,it got a lead collar.

They would not do anything practical like that because they are not native to Kodiak. But the big bears would clean up the mess quite quickly...
They should move them to Juneau, let our problem legislators deal with the problem bears.
Bears getting into trash are pretty much a given. Just happened to come across this guy at lunchtime last year. Unless Alaska Waste goes to bear safe trash cans nothings going to change. People put their trash cans on the curb in the morning, trash isn't picked up until later in the day, and bears have plenty of time to be bears.
Ban the bears, move in a bunch of Syrians; good ol anchorage
I've been noticing for a few years now that Fairbanks is getting due for a flushing of DSMF lefty trash. Most of the commenters are women that can't function above the emotional level. Unfortunately some dumbass thought it was a good ideal to let them vote. And the men making similar comments? Well, they are missing their nutzacks.
Polar bears aren't endangered. It's the Marine Mammal Species Act that bans hunting them on US soil by anyone but indigenous folk.
I love the place, but I've decided to retire well outside the boundaries FNSB.
Was going to happen sooner or later. I've never understood the relocate thing as its not like we have a shortage of bears.
