Hungry bears are foraging for food closer and closer to houses

They are very dangerous to people, especially in situations like this when they don't have enough food. But they can't be blamed, they are just trying to survive. By reacting correctly you can stay safe, but think about a child going into the back yard to play, and having a bear trying to get to a bird feeder. Would you choose seeds or meat? Precautions need to be taken with garbage and food. And feeders should be taken down for now. The government should consider preparing food drop offs in the forests to help the bears through the winter. You can be safe around them, but they will do what they have to to survive, especially mothers with yearling cubs going through their first winter. Compassion and caution are needed

thiis story doesn't make sense...in one sentence, they say that 30 have been removed and returned to the forest, but then they say that another dozen were killed because they showed aggression so it doesn't matter why they are coming closer...at any time, a wild animal can be aggressive.
