    We get this in my hometown - people see the place, decide they want to live in the forest. They clearcut a chunk of it and build their house. Then when a bear wanders into their new yard (following the same territory it always has) they call the cops.

        I don’t even know. I guess folks from the suburbs would call the cops and get an animal control officer to come out if they saw a bear in their yard? But my town was way too small to have animal control - theres like 2 cops and the emergency system switches over to the state troopers at night.

        And again, bears live in the woods, of you build your house in their woods they’re gonna walk on your deck occasionally.

      The way you describe it, it sounds like they should be clearing out the entire forest not just a chunk of it 💀

      edit: I didn’t say that I think they should, fwiw.
