Piper,
The Lord created man in his image. We are God's children. The creatures of the earth are also God's creation, however they are not His children but were created for us to rule over. I do not hate grizzlies, I do respect them and they do have a place in our environment, North of the continental United States. When I was a youngster I worked in Alaska. Bears were my job. I am proud to say I was able to resolve all situations I was involved in without killing a bear. That said I also came to realize that grizzlies, unlike their black bear cousins do not co-exist well with humans. Not saying black bears aren't dangerous, they are. Black bears are responsible for more injuries to humans each year than grizzlies.
