Biden admin plan to release predator near rural communities faces widespread opposition: 'A huge threat'
Fox News
The Biden administration is facing blowback from the cattle and agriculture industries in addition to local governments over a plan to release wild grizzly bears in Washington.
"Introducing an apex predator like the grizzly bear to a new area of Washington state is a mistake and poses a huge threat to our rural communities and hardworking farmers and ranchers," said Mark Eisele, a Wyoming rancher and incoming NCBA president. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"This plan is being pushed by bureaucrats thousands of miles away from the West who do not fully understand the harm this species will cause to producers. The Biden administration should listen to rural residents and rethink this plan."
