Nothing a good dose of lead wouldn't cure.
As I mentioned above, if one feeds the bears lead, one takes care of the problem, too. And, it can fall under the classification of being "mean" to the bears.
This got my thong in a twist, I HATE BEARS.
Wasn't until early 1980 when a movie came out about bears killing off a bunch of campers. Just a stupid movie I believed.
Then a few years later the real life problems with bears began to run on the Discovery Chanel and it seemed like every few months or so bears were in the news and back on Cable.
By now I for the first time in my life felt a bit of fear going into the forest or camping. I no longer allowed my kids to run free in the woods as I had as a child, barefoot at that.
Human population had not at that time spread into the wild life area, today we have passed the boundary forcing all kinds of critters to check us out.
Today we have dangerous Moose and Buck Deer in rut strolling about our yards taking a fancy to small cars and jumping through plate glass windows to mate with the washing machine.
We have coyotes, coy dogs and wolves checking out our cats and dogs and perhaps our small children.
The bears are a different breed of wild animal, they are meat eaters on a large scale from the pack dogs. They can knock down a front door to a home, one cannot out run them, and the males will eat their own cubs.
Bears are crafty hunters, they can back track a human and know when the time to strike is there.
One can be on a hiking trail or bike trail or in there own front yard when a bear for no reason we know will charge and fix us good.
The bear population in my area is growing as is the deer and Moose. They are coming here as their habitate is shrinking and they have no place to go.
So sad, only a few decades going from a barefoot kid running through the forest with no fear to an adult that takes a dog AND side arm for a 3 hour hike.
I hate BEARS.
