Gianforte emphasizes available funds to prevent Grizzly Bear conflicts with cattle

Helena, Mont. – Four generations of the Barnosky family live on their Ruby Valley Ranch. They are immensely proud of their work, but sometimes predators such as grizzly bears can cause chaos. For this reason, the governor and other civil servants took a visit to them on Tuesday to see how he got together with numerous local organizations to find ways to prevent animal substances from death.

“In Montana, the neighbor is a verb. It is clear that these multi -talental operations have worked to help each other to continue the livelihood of their company,” said Governor Greg Gianforte.

The state has 2.25 million US dollars of federal funds that are available by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to prevent wildlife conflicts, and organizations such as Heart of the Rockies Initiative have obtained them to use them.

“This financing will support local efforts such as reach, electrical rights, Kadaver pickup and carcass management programs, bear -resistant garbage infrastructure as well as local education and public relations in terms of practices that help prevent conflicts with grizzly bears,” said Nathan Owens, Policy Director of the rockies Initiative to secure the initiative of the Rockies initiative, the political director of Heart of the Rockies initiative, “said Nathan Owens, Political Director of the Rockies Initiative, which can be secured to secure Rockies's initiatives in the areas of Rockies.”

And in the east in the Madison Valley there is another non-profit organization of over $ 300,000 in scholarships.

“Grizzly bears and wolves were a challenge for us, but it brought us together and tried to find solutions to stay in the landscape. We are rethinking the best ways to manage the country. I think we are now better stewards,” said Linda Owens, Project Director of Madison Valley Ranchland Group.

Another popular strategy to prevent predators that use these non-profit organizations is to hire range drivers.

“They are literally people who drive over the range all summer. And it sounds delightful, but it is really hard work, and we heard today how dangerous it can be,” said FWP director Christy Clark.

The financing of over 500,000 US dollars of prevention prevention of over 500,000 US dollars is also available via the Livestock -Losboard board in the Livestock department in Montana, whereby the current application cycle is open to the rest of the month.

“Whether compost programs, range riders, fence fladry, electrical fences for calves and lambs, wax dogs, any kind of acceptable practice that prevents the predators on cattle breeding. We would much prefer to pay our dollars to prevent the predators than pay for the killing of Livestock.

Grizzly bears remain protected in Montana according to the law on endangered species, which restricts the way the state can manage it. The Biden administration has refused a request for delistine, and Gianforte is confident that the Trump government will reverse the course.

“It is time for the FEDs to do the right thing. We can better lead here in Montana Grizzly bears. We have science, we have the biologists and we have the local knowledge, much better than the bureaucrats of 2,000 miles,” said Gianforte.
