Steve - ROTFL!!! Reminds me of a whole series of cartoons by one of my favorite cartoonists on bears. When I was about 7 or 8, our family did the traditional Great Western National Parks tour. I have a vivid memory of a guy in a "bear jam" in Yellowstone trying to push a bear into the driver's seat of his car so he could get a photo. For years, people told me I must have imagined that, but when we took our son on the traditional tour, I asked a ranger about that, and he pointed out a photo in the ranger office that showed exactly that. Somehow, folks don't quite get it - the big furry guys were here first. It's their home, and they are bigger plus stronger, not only total strength, but strength per pound than we are. If you are so dumb as to let the bear (or raccoon, or marmot, or whatever) get your food, it's theirs. I agree with Chumango - shoot the idiot who let the bear get the food, not the bear.
