Believe it or not, the East Bay was once a prime habitat for bears. The early "white" inhabitants lost no time in ridding themselves of these nuisances, killing off as many as they could and chasing off the rest. Of course, I wouldn't necessarily want to live in bear country myself. Those who do suffer all kinds of inconveniences. Bears tend to "domesticate" easily, making a problems for people. But humankind has over-extended its range beyond all logic and balance. We think the rest of life just needs to get out of the way while we propagate uncontrollably and use up everything in sight.
