So let me get this straight. If the FWC goes out to the neighborhood and passes out literature on bears, then the pets and people of the neighborhood will be safe. What if the bears don't don't understand or agree with the suggestions and/or rules that are in the literature?

The bear is just trying to survive though it could be dangerous if cornered. It's complicated situation. I feel for the people, maybe the answer is have wildlife officals scare the bear off. Possibly trap it and have dogs and loud noise approach on release so it learns to avoid human places. Another option is maybe place it in wildlife sanctuary. Got love wildlife officals can do what they deem necessary but you let someone shoot the bear in fear of a human being's safety and example will be made of the shooter. Brings to mind cases in North Fla of you can kill all the deer you want but if you cant afford a hunting perserve you better damn well not save an orphaned deer.
