There appears to be a huge increase in the number of bear attacks this year. All over the State. People seem to be doing the same things in the same places they have always done. Yet this year, bears attack. It is a bite and run year. And summer is still young. Why the attacks? Global warming? Decreased salmon runs? The Denali Park wolf buffer zone? The decreased PFD? Lack of a gas line? Warm winter? Maybe the bears are grouchy because they did not hibernate enough? Maybe this is a revolt. Maybe they are angry because they are tired of being darted, drugged and collared.  We do live in bear country and they live in people country. So what? When they attack, they give up the right to live peaceably. Maybe we need a bear buffer zone from Wasilla to Kodiak to Juneau or Seattle? Remember, bears do not have a right to injure, kill or eat you although they may have the desire. You do have the right to carry a gun and use it if they do try. Even in Denali Park!
