Bob Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The animal control guy we used to have here (before the MNR took the job back) was trapping 3 or 4 bears a week all over town. He'd haul them a couple hours north of town and turn them loose but they were always back in 2 or 3 days. Rumour has it, they're now hauling them south to see if they'll stay away from here.

Jonny Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The Toronto Star had an item on this today. They accept comments, one of them being that we're destroying their habitat, poor things! So here's what I sent 'em: Too many bears Trust me, there is *plenty* of bear habitat in Ontario; they're not going to starve. The problem is simply that there are too many bears. I'm glad to see that some people in Southern Ontario may be waking up to the consequences of the type of bear "conservation" policies they forced upon us here in the north.

ohhenrygsr Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's funny to see this but at the same time very dangerous. I can't count the number of times a city folk has tried to pet one of these or feed it, while the rest of us are running away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viscount Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 This is funny.. wait til the bears make their way to the south-western farmland or the Niagara vinyards and orchards... all prime habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXXington Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Where've you been? that IS where all the cormorants nest! one of the largest colonies on the Great Lakes Been doing my geography, All the houses and people hang out on ward / center / Algonquin island part of the Toronto islands. "Cormorants have overtaken a peninsula of Toronto's Leslie Street Spit, which, thanks to aggressive nest building, is barren but for one tree. (May 13, 2009)" from the Toronto Star. Now if the cormorants took over the Algonquin island where the houses are you thing they would all still be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
