I only let my dogs go without a leash in my own front yard even though my neighbors allow theirs to roam all over all day and night. I also pick up the pooh (from my dogs as well as my neighbors dogs that roam and pooh in my yard) and put it in my out side trash can and that keeps the bears out. When I walk my dogs (always on a leash) I also pick up their pooh and bring it home with me.
My dogs are well behaved but I always keep them leashed.
I have had bears in my yard and simply scare them off or wait for them to move on, and I do the same for the moose, elk, deer, skunk as well as the human drunks that pass through my yard.
Should I take your view on all these animals or just the only one that causes a true threat, the human drunk?
If I shoot them (the human drunk) in the head for simply being on my property and trashing my yard, being loud and obnoxious and making me feel unsafe in my own home, would you defend me?
I truly believe it is not the Bears causing problems but irresponsible humans.
If your trash is properly contained then the bears do not get into it. If the bear was simply getting a free meal because the owner did not contain their trash how can you blame the bear. If you make enough noise the bear will move on. From this article it seems they simply shot first. Would they do the same to a hungry human?
You must ask yourself why you live here... Views, Clean Air, Open Space, Beauty, Wildlife... why then would you kill the reasons you live here.
When the City started its Monday-Thursday schedule I understand from a County office, most of our citizens assumed the County offices were on the same schedule. I am glad County workers will now have an opportunity with time off to find other income opportunities or be able to cut expenses by having time off.
Geez... Why would we need to relax a law no obeys.
I have some neighbors that believe my yard is the neighborhood poo yard. I have even seen people walking their dogs and letting them poo in my yard, and then scurry away(the people not the dogs).
Summer, fall and winter collide

Kat Kelly: Wildlife in town a beautiful sight
Perhaps her Bear Proof cans are the ones provided on the Green Trash Cans all over town that can't even keep a squirrel out... just a thought.
