I say Ban the Yankee invaders and leave the black bears alone . I say lets shoot the Yankee developers .
Now the same Yankee invader crowd wants to kill Blue Herons .
The state is lost .
I'm all in favor of outlawing cookie-cutter boxes as houses.
But black bears don't let you leave them alone. They're predators, and they reproduce and eat like any wild animal. Up in the Northeast, they're all over the place, and they don't mind attacking and occasionally eating people.
They need to be kept at a distance with the aid of firearms, so we don't become the prey.
I just wanted to add--in deference to the idea of wasting nothing--I've had sausage made from black bear meat by Boy Scouts, and it was pretty good.
