I agree, ZippyKat - I know bears are all over the place where we hope to retire in Idaho, Dadcat's home. He used to watch them munching on the pears from the pear trees in the morning, sometimes. He said they basically didn't bother anyone, as long as you didn't bother them. It's sad when animals suffer for loss of habitat, or get lost and/or misdirected and wander into "our" territory!!
