We speak with environmentalists Doug and Andrea Peacock. Doug Peacock is a longtime naturalist, adventurer and writer. His books include Grizzly Years: In Search of the American Wilderness. He was a close friend of the late writer Edward Abbey. One of Abbey's most famous characters, Hayduke, from his book The Monkey Wrench Gang, was based partly on Doug Peacock. Andrea Peacock is an independent journalist who has covered Montana politics and western environmental news for several years. Ref. Source 3
The fact that the grizzly bear is a native to our own places just like other men makes it a interesting bear. With the bear being a creature that can look at a human as part of the food chain instead of us being on top. We need to keep the bears in our sights to keep them living in harmony with man.
