New construction must be going on clearing more of the the bear's natural habitat.

[@LauraMiller333]

At least we don't have to worry about any kids getting attacked, they don't play outside anymore.. they are inside staring at screens.

Best comment of the day lol sad but true i remember playing outside 5 blocks away till the street lights came on

[@carbonEYE007]

Are the werewolves pushing the bears out of the mountains?

Hmm where are ALL these bears coming FROM? Thats Odd 🤔

[@vidman3WM]

They come from the Great Dismal Swamp. There's a large populations of bears there. You leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.🐻

Well you see when a male bear gets old enough it begins to like female bears. They both meet up in the woods and a few months later a baby bear pops out. Daddy bear is no eff no and is seen running through the neighborhood as momma bear files court papers to get alimony.

[@Dan-di9jd]

They should hire out a wildlife expert that can get a population size of these bears. Perhaps city council needs to approve limited bear licenses in a lotto to reduce some of the over-population of the bears. My guess is that these sightings will only get more severe when a child or someone gets attacked when provoking a startled mom bear.

Maybe that’s why the bear came? It was out in the woods and saw the weird hair and was like you don’t see that everyday.
