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.

I would just have liked them to tranquilize and then move them somewhere else in Florida. Much more expensive a proposition though. And a great deal more logistics than just sending out the bear posse as some woman called her view of the hunt she was going to go on today to get a bear head to add to her mantle piece. This was on CBS News last night. Bear hunt to begin in Florida, first in over two decades - CBS News
