>The Department of Wildlife gets more funding as a result of this.
First of all, good. Second, does that mean they don't know the definition of an Apex predator? What's your point? You realized that you were just wrong about the definition of 'apex predator' so you decided to pivot to yet another straw man?
>No one is complaining about wolf reintroduction other than farmers.
That's not remotely true. It was largely hunters. PS - when they raise livestock instead of crops they're called ranchers not farmers, dumbass. PPS - the only major group complaining about BEAR reintroduction is (spoiler alert) The National Cattlemen's Beef Association. AKA Ranchers!
>The public does not want this to happen, and it wont. It was already struck down once.
It wasn't 'struck down' and it had nothing to do with public opinion. In mid-2017, officials from the U.S. Department of the Interior, without clear explanation, halted progress on the recovery efforts. The process kicked back into gear in 2019, but that effort was again squelched by Interior, under the Trump administration, in 2020.
>Hopefully you dont ever startle a grizzly. Because it wont go well for you.
I already have, but I carry bear spray in grizzly territory and am not an idiot, so, as is the case in the vast vast VAST majority of bear encounters, I am fine. However, it's very obvious that you have exactly zero understanding of not just this issue, but of bears in general. You're just some cretin who thinks the big bad bears are out to get you, and you're either too lazy or too stupid to educate yourself about how to be safe in bear country. I'm done with you.
