    Bill, I hope you will run interference for the next person who is attacked by a bear. I like my position at the top of the food chain and will fight to maintain it.

    People are animals. It's only natural for us, too. You can close off large areas from human activity and what you get is animals without fear of humans who come into the areas set aside for humans. There is a group of people who want to enact policies that will cause the extinction or severe reduction of the human species. I say, "Fine. You first."

    That's just a bear being a bear. I'm pretty tired of animals getting killed for doing what comes natural.
