The Biden administration may soon be forced to rescind a proposal to release grizzly bears, an apex predator species, into a forest area near rural communities.
"Central Washingtonians have consistently voiced their concerns and opposition over the introduction of grizzly bears into the North Cascades Ecosystem, yet unelected bureaucrats from the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service continue to try to force these predators upon our communities," Newhouse said in a statement. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"These agencies should listen to the people who would be most impacted by these actions and immediately withdraw their proposed rule and draft EIS statement so members of the region can rest safely knowing that an 800 pound apex predator is not going to enter into their backyard," added the Washington lawmaker who represents communities that would be impacted by the proposal.
