Totally agree. Humans have been quite stupid when it comes to dealing with wild animal populations. Usually just making the problems worse more than making them better. Here in California we only have black bears and not the aggressive grizzly bears, so for the most part they are not a problem. But when they get the taste of human food they can become a nuisance like bear #514 was for me for awhile. He wasn't mean... just wouldn't leave me alone!
Hahaha and the first thing we give children are Teddy Bears to cuddle up to, makes you think! #514 sure would have fun going through trash cans and disrupting life, because now he knows he can!
