Yes, a trip to Hope is always a chance for the bear to reform his/her life.

Rugged Island would be a better point of departure, part of the 'bear endurance and survival skills re-training program' sponsored by the department of corrections. An outreach program from Spring Creek. 

{Since there's no credible college of higher knowledge to train those non-humans, in detail of interaction with people; perhaps a 'trump university' course on urban survival.
Who'd give a bear credit, with no more collateral than the fur on its back?}

Where's a bear to turn for a survival pack of goodies, without the grief or torment losing ones skin to a kinder and gentler species? ;)
