okay, so my neighbor has been baiting his yard, and sure enough.... now we have a bear. Now don't get me wrong, yogi is cool and all of that, but a real life bear is simply a furry pig with claws. .... oh yeah, bait - put a bird feeder in a yard, bears will come.... of course I also live on bear creek (no joke) - so this is not even slightly irregular except that we chased the last bear away a couple years ago and I was enjoying the quiet.
my point... I live in the most schitzophrenic state in the nation.... we can't cut a tree down, nor can we dump our oil in the creek (or anti-freeze for that matter)... but we can shoot the bear just because I don't like the way he squints his eyes? So let me get this straight (I say to the Dept. of Nat. Resources person), we save our streams so the salmon return, put cute little cages over the mussels can live without fear of blue herons, can't cut a tree because it'll squish a spotted owl, and we must create "conservation easements" so that wildlife can get to said prestine streams..... but we can kill the bears, even though they're simply part of that food chain that you've been rebuilding?
