<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are both probably right. The sad part is
humans have systematically encroached on the habitat of the wildlife and then we
wonder why animals 'fight back', bother us, eat our gardens, etc. If
we choose to live in their territory we should respect them and theirs.
Grizzlies are a downright problem in much of Alaska and the human
population has learned to live with them and be cautious. Sometimes
our 'freedom' to wander in the hills is not always that free and should be
approached with a certain degree of common sense. I will climb off my
soapbox now. Aileen</FONT></DIV>
