In the very urban The bears are very habituated to people
and often den up under a porch or deck of vacation homes or even main
residences if the owner is away for a few days. They also have entered houses
to plunder the kitchen pantry or the fridge. The Game Commission usually
relocates them about 100 miles away but always tags them so if they come back
they are disposed of. One made the trip from NJ across the There are red foxes in the city, mostly aggressive
towards people, and there is a high incidence of rabies in the area. A
neighboring sheep operation keeps burros in the fields for protection. It

young lady outran several would be attackers on bicycles with a lame horse
along a dirt horse trail some time ago where I board and nobody has tried to
attack since. Irv Lichtenstein From:
