Bears are not the problem. …

Bears are not the problem. Loss of habitat is the problem. If you are going to allow greedy developers to destroy habitat by destroying forests and farmland then you had better feed the wildlife that is being destroyed along with it. Wildlife is the checks and balances for our planet. Without them we would be overrun with vermin and disease. This is not a matter of nuisance bears getting into people's garbage. This is a critical issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Coyotes would not be grabbing people's pets if they were not starving and if their natural food source had not be destroyed by over development. Wake up.
