What happens when a bear shows up in your neighborhood

This morning in Short Hills a bear happened to climb a tree in someone's backyard. State officials tranqualized the bear and will kill it. I love this description of the incident as reported in the Ledger.

The bear caused a commotion on the quiet, dead-end street, which borders the Short Hills Country Club and South Pond. Joggers and club members in their tennis whites came to the backyard to check on the commotion, as news helicopters flew overhead.

"I'm glad they were able to tranquilize it," said Ann Shuch, who stayed in her home with her children while the bear was in her backyard tree. "This has never happened before

After all the hate filled comments I got from the East Jersey bear lovers for supporting the bear hunt. Look what they do when a bear comes to town. My police department won't even respond to a bear call.

By the way. Doesn't it seem like there are alot more than 3000 bears in the state based on the number of bears that are roaming the wilds of east Jersey?
