Default Too many bears

My daughter has lived in Lake Mary, a suburb of Orlando for more than 10 years, and the bears are so bad in her neighborhood, that they've torn through her lanai screen, you can see them walking through the neighborhood at all hours, they have to be careful when the kids are playing outside, they get into garbage cans in the garage & they don't put their garbage out until the morning of pickup. I love seeing animals in their natural habitat, but when a woman is attacked by one while walking her dog, then it's time to lower the number of bears because there obviously isn't enough food for them in the wild, they're overpopulated or they wouldn't be roaming into suburban neighborhoods looking for food.
