Watching 'Women that kill Lions' on TV last week it showed them hunting bears because they encroached on city land....totally wrong way around, the Bears were there before the town or man.

Spot on Barry, bloody disgraceful treatment by all concerned.
I remember seeing one in a zoo just pacing back and forth clearly suffering. Even convicts get better treatment.
