maleficent

I've done a lot of hiking in and around the Ramapo Mountains and in the area up near Woodstock in NY, in the past, and there's lots of bears in them thar woods, there a signs posted all around saying to make noise on the trails because as long as you are making noise, the bears stay away. (oh, and if a bear comes at you because of the noise, then run down hill because bears can't run downhill) luckily I never encountered a bear.

It was either last year or the year before that they allowed bear hunting in NJ because the population had grown so much, and they were becoming fearless of people (that and overdevelopment has taken over the bears land)

It just seems wrong to kill this bear because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
