"part of the conservative philosophy is taking responsibility for one's own actions. "


If you believe what you posted, surely you would agree that a subordinate predator destroying the "nest" of the dominant predator is behavior advised against by nature and Conservative alike.

Why are you having troubles accepting that these bears were 'bucking' (forgive the 'nature' pun ;-)) for the ursine equivalent of a Darwin Award.

Had the bears entered an occupied home they'd have been bucking.

They didn't, they entered what to them was essentially a cave thanks to the stupidity of the owners.

And it's not exactly like the owners didn't have any place else to live. This was obviously a second home for them and they just couldn't wait 6 more weeks to get that insurance check.

Had it been a safety issue it's a different story but it wasn't as is evidenced by them wanting the bears killed because the insurance company wouldn't go in until they were gone and as another has pointed out because they stood to make some money off of it.

Safety is one thing, this was not about safety for them.
