Lawrence County bear at risk to Republicans

If history is any guide, locals will just kill the offending bear like they do with moose, elk, cougars and their kittens. 

$20 bucks says the black bears, wolves, and moose sighted in the Black Hills are migrating from the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming down the Tongue River across the Powder to the Pumpkin Buttes where the Cheyenne and Belle Fourche Rivers begin, go up Beaver Creek near Newcastle into upper Castle Creek and down Rapid Creek to the Black Fox/Rochford area or north across Minnesota Ridge on the upper Limestone into Lawrence County. 

So, if there are moose, wolves and bears in the Black Hills why doesn't it automatically make them candidates for endangered species protection?

Because Republicans are evil.
