Visitors are entitled to walk safely in any national park without having

Park
rangers by and large do not know how to manage their own ****!

The bear found someone in his bathroom after dark, I'm sure you know

the feeling of having someone in your space at a time you didn't allow
then to be there. Wouldn't you try to get rid of someone in a
situation like that? Well bears can't negotiate so they just smack,
plus the whole claws and teeth thing.

Bears and people don't mix - period! If park rangers had any sense, they
would know that and do something about it on a permanent basis. Simply
just
moving the bears around doesn't work. If and when more people use the
hiking
trails it will become increasingly evident.


More hikers = better fed bears. Win-win, I say.


I think the only wild animals that eat humans are carrion eaters like
vultures. Humans by and large do not make good food for most other animals
other than the microbes. Of course I realize if Tom Sherman were starving to
death, I would not want to be in the same tent with him.
