A bear has been spotted in the opposite end of Hartford from me. Before everyone panics, we need to remember a few things about bears:
1. They were here first. We’re the illegal immigrants.
2. If we weren’t creating all this sprawl, they’d be content to stay in their natural habitats.
3. Bears rarely attack humans. And on some days, I’d say that’s a damn shame.
Be wary of media that use scare tactics and take on these sensational stories for ratings. If wildlife were as big of a threat to humans as they make it seem, we’d be the ones facing extinction.
