Maybe I'm naive, but I don't really get what the big deal is. There is a bear around, so what? Every bear that leaves the foothills is supposed to be shot? I'm pretty sure my kids have a greater chance of death by failing down the stairs, and I'm not planning on ripping them out tonight and putting in a slide.
From what I can tell, Grizzly's have killed about 23 people in North America since 2000. So basic math indicates an individual living in North America has approx. 1/150,000,000 chance of being killed by a grizzly. I feel pretty safe with those odds....
