A lot of people are disagreeing with this, but most scientists and wild life experts are encouraging them to do it. Local people say, ” People out of town are already scared of the black bears and grizzlies”. Grizzlies haven’t been seen in California for 90 years and if they were to be brought back it would make a huge change in people’s lives. If grizzlies were brought back to California there would be double the amount of bears here. Grizzlies need up to 9,000 square miles of space to roam, right now in Yellowstone they only have 3,400 square miles of space.

My opinion about this is that we should give the grizzlies back their land. They were there before us and it’s unfair to them if we don’t allow them to live in the amount of land they need. If we keep acting afraid of wild animals and killing them because we’re mad or afraid most animals will start to go extinct just like how wolves and grizzlies are endangered. My classmate Jake said, ” I agree with you that we should give the grizzlies back their land instead of killing them and kicking them out of their own habitat.”  The authors opinion was that if they were to bring grizzlies back then they should put them somewhere else because of all of the people there. ” If there was a place to put them, I would be arguing very strongly not to put them there”.
