“... the tree huggers have allowed predators to flourish...”
I live on salt water now and alligators are not a big problem, but the bears are wreaking havoc all over town. Not safe to walk at night these days, or go outside without checking. The authorities say, it’s their territory so bears are free to roam.
BTW, I had a huge black bear walk onto my front porch a couple weeks ago while I was enjoying a late evening.
