I too am a Canadian. I LOOOVE Brer Bear. But only when he is safely behind bars. Running free, he is too dangerous. My understanding is that the ancient Romans, when they wanted a fair fight in their gatherings, would put two lions against one bear. Hey, do you want lions and tigers running free in Canada? How about dinosaurs, if we could get some?

Now let's replace the bears with humans in this article. Solves the homeless issue!

Is the plan to put every living bear in zoos? What about zoo space for every other creature with teeth and claws that seems to generate so much fear in the author and his neighbors? Bears homesteaded the land long before man arrived. Maybe less encroachment and some tolerance would help.

only humans can own property; not bears.

I agree with your comment but...living in Canada and not expecting bears is like not expecting snow. What is the point of visiting Canada and not getting Canada?

But do the long term inhabitants have the appropriate hardware to eliminate the threat from those whose ancestors were there long before they were?
