Gee whiz, is this not an act of nature? Are bears on the government payroll?

one lawsuit is against the state of Utah and Division of Wildlife Resources that the state failed to warn potential users of the imminent danger of a “Level III” nuisance black bear and

the other in Federal district court against Forest service agents that they failed to notify potential users of a “Level III” nuisance black bear.

It’s what bears do. There’s not a lot of habitat for them anymore, especially in Southern California.

They have to eat. I don’t think it went into the tent to get the kid, specifically. I’m sure it was smelling something beside the kid.

The rangers should have known the bear was there. They aren’t that hard to track. You don’t have to see the bear. They make pretty good tracks. I see tracks and I start taking precautions.

At least have a sign in the campground that said there were bears possible and to take the appropriate measures like the most important one...don’t sleep with your food or anywhere near it.

Well, no. But at the time, the Federal Government would not allow you to have loaded personal self defense weapons in National Parks.

Are bears on the government payroll?

I decline to answer that question.
