Hi guys! I was chatting with my uncle, who works in forestry out in Alberta, the other night about bears and bear attacks and so on and he sent me this video of a bear just passing by someone’s house that was captured via the guys home security camera.
One of the biggest issues regarding people vs wild life my uncle said he was seeing right now in Alberta was related to urban development and people wanting to put up golf courses or subdivisions right in the middle of places like the grizzly maze from the film we watched last class. These are places that bears had used for travelling and hunting long before people got there and yet, like the guy in the video (pardon his choice of language) it’s perceived as the animal’s fault. He also said that they are experiencing a rise in cougar vs man attacks…
