AOC's proposed green new deal is looking at government protection in our national parks.
The bill contains $50 million meant to "reduce human-wildlife conflicts on National Forest System Land."
What does this mean? Building fences along the roads so the idiots that want selfies with grizzly sows protecting their cubs don't get a cuff upside the head from a thousand pound animal that can outrun a horse?
The reason we go to the national parks is to get free and natural intervention with the wildlife from a safe distance unfettered by proposed barriers? I don't know exactly what this part of the new green deal means, but I guess if the most dangerous thing you experience in the bronx for wildlife is a sewer rat or a mouse, I'm guessing you don't need to propose legislation for me in the National Parks I habitat.
Those that wish to venture close to a wild animal are in need of a natural death. The animal didn't cause it.
We saw this a couple of times when in Yellowstone a month ago.
We saw single women/men jogging/bicycling along roads where there were signs posted that bear activity was high and to avoid the area.
The act of jogging or riding a bike in bear country incites a charge response to a grizzly. They think it's prey. The first rule of encountering a bear is to not run to prevent a charge.
Standing your ground may still get a charge, but its light years safer than running, unless you shoot your buddy in the knee cap with a .25 auto and out run him.
