The Bear Population within the City Limits is growing rapidly. Something needs to be done to reduce numbers before citizens start taking the matter into their own hands. In the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, it used to be extremely rare to see a bear in the Northern Part of the city. Now they have been seen in the P-Patch. There will be more incidents if the population is not controlled. Let's not make a human life the standard for taking action to control the population. Yes it is extremely rare for a bear to attack a human, however, it happened yesterday, luckily the 'punctures' the woman received were not in a vital part of her body. It doesn't help matters when people are feeding the bears and treating them like pets (see the Soo Today article about humans feeding bears by the Trading Post). Bears need to be afraid of humans.
