I never heard any additional logical well-thought-out solutions.

I live in Tampa, Florida. The bear population in this state has grown by leaps and bounds! It was time to do something to reduce the population. Bears run out of natural food sources and where do they go next for food.....right into backyards and trash cans. Bears roaming around neighborhoods in broad daylight. Not a good thing!

Living in a state with an estimated 25,000 Black Bears, I have to laugh at Florida's so-called overpopulation.

of course there are...but people will have to make an effort. Most wouldn't even lift a finger as far as effort as that would entail getting off their duffs and getting involved. We all know what needs to be done but are unwilling to sacrifice anything so we keep on and the animals keep on having to pay the price....

No it's not. Of course the people have no responsibility in this problem nor have any blame.......
