MOVE 863, "FELICIA," TO A SAFE HAVEN

MOVE 863, "FELICIA," TO A SAFE HAVEN

The Issue

What is best for the bears?

LET HER BE WILD, NO MORE PHOTOS!

Grizzly bear 863F and her two cubs deserve a chance to live wild and free from human interference.

Give her the gift of life and move 863 to a remote area with plenty of wilderness and few grizzlies, such as North Cascades National Park.

The 863 (Felicia) family live along a busy Wyoming highway with large trucks traveling in excess of 70 mph.  Bears, moose and other wildlife have been killed along this stretch of road that takes visitors to Grand Teton National Park.  The bear family has become a huge roadside attraction, with more than 100 cars stopping along the highway, creating safety hazards for people and bears.  It is only a matter of time before the bears are killed in traffic, or a visitor angers mama bear and she attacks them.

Moving this family to a remote location, where food and land are plentiful, will give them a chance at life without human interference.  Let's take human needs out of the equation and work towards what is best for the bears.

Please lend your voice for a better life for this bear and her adorable cubs.  No more photos, let her be wild.
