Didn’t know a cause had to be “official.” Is there an unofficial cause?

[BeadCounter]

Newsmax has a good story on it. I guess the Bears front paws are hurt. Hope he gets better.

[Fungi]

Just the bare facts.

[KeyLargo]

Not to worry.

Just Moocheel out for a stroll..........

The worst thing someone can do in this situation is feed the bear, Leaver said. He will become a "problem bear" if he gets used to having food provided to him, she said.

They must of studied human behavior to figure that out.

It’s not the video link — it’s the missing link that scientists have been searching for.

Out of the woods, into the plains and, from there, into the suburbs.

He will become a "problem bear" if he gets used to having food provided to him, she said.

A bear walking upright around a New Jersey real estate development already reads as he may be categorized as a "problem bear".

“He will become a “problem bear” if he gets used to having food provided to him, she said”

Now why does that sound familiar,,,

[Delta Dawn]

I think to qualify as a, ‘problem’, bear in NJ, the bear would have to be carrying a sidearm...

[teletech]

He bares responsibility for his actions.

[RedMDer]

Smarter than the average bear.

[jocon307]

Yes, agreed, poor bear.

I saw it also on Red Eye.

I talked to a ranger who has shot a bear. It could not be taken down at long range. It was a tough bear. He told me when he saw the bear skinned it looked very much like a human. It was a sad memory.

I used to be fascinated by bears because I encountered a lot of them at Rose Valley campgrounds near Ojai CA by the falls. The momma would come into camp at dusk and raid the trash cans with her cubs. I would scoop up my toy poodle at the fire and hide in my Audi. At night I could hear them sloshing through the stream next to our tent. I would buy books on bear and they would terrify me. I got rid of those books. I still have the teddy bears my husband gave me while courting me, but that’s enough bear for me now.
