There are so many flawed assumptions about my reasoning skills, and so many flaws in yours, I don't have time to respond to everything.

for a few moments I would have been happy to see 99.98% of bears eradicated and the other .02% put behind bars in a zoo

Oh really? How many bears do your neighbors have? Are they chained? Do they ever get loose? Do they roam your neighborhood where there are small children playing? Are the social statistics for chihuahuas similar? Do bears have free will?

Then why aren't bears kept as pets?

This animal killed a person

This animal is a bear

Bears cannot be trusted to live in my neighborhood.

Now substitute "pit bull" for "bear" above

Then why aren't bears kept as pets?

Bears don't have a history of 1000's of years of domestication.
Bears are not pack animals.
Bears are not the same as Dogs.
I never brought them up in order to suggest they be pets
but rather to illustrate the folly of letting emotions guide decision making.
I have failed and will leave you to your hysteria.
Have a nice day and rest assured that when they come
for your property you will be able count on my support.
