where are you getting that statistic? There has been more than one bear attack in this state already. Or are more bear maulings in anchorage what you're looking for? As bears follow the moose into town it's only a matter of time before they realize a school age kid is as easy to pick off as a moose calf. If you welcome bears into your yard, I don't care. They aren't welcome in mine, and I refuse to apologize for saying so. They aren't friendly fluffy woodland creatures. They are apex predators and wild animals that are unpredictable despite "statistics". It doesn't matter if it is infrequent, if it happens to you the incidence is 100%.
