: Lots of momma bears with cubs have been sighted in Denver this
: year. While bear sightings around Denver are the norm,
: seeing young bears or cubs in trees in central Denver is,
: well, amazing and unusual.

: University is a street that runs north and south through the

: Denver area. Broadway and University can be thought of as a
: dividing line that runs north to south through the heart of
: downtown. This year one cub was found on the University of
: Denver campus (hence the name of the street) in a tree.
: That was in July.

: During the last week of August a mother and cub were found
: south of that location, but also just off of University.
: Perhaps the first cub belonged to that mother.

: One citizen in a nearby suburb heard his dog barking
: incessantly. It was about a bear, of course. Two cubs. He
: shot two rubber bullets at the bears but that didn't scare
: them away. So, he shot and killed one with a real bullet.
: The upshot is this guy has now been charged with a felony
: for protecting his property. I disagree with the legal
: action. It's just another example of how our rights have
: been stripped.

: The day after the arraignment of the "bear killer",
: 3 more bears were arrested and detained by the
: police/wildlife officers. Seems it doesn't matter if you
: are a human or a bear. And we must remember we only have a
: right to kill a bear if attacked. Therefore, if one
: harrasses your dog, one must get in between the two and be
: ready to fire when the bear charges. Then you are
: justified. Control Freaks. We live in a world of freaks I
: tell ya. This is not to be construed as me being anti-bear.
: In fact, I am considering starting a movement to brings
: Grizzlies back to Colorado. This is about one's property, a
: dog, or whatever not being harmed by anything that means
: harm to your property.

: Later, we found that all the bears were being removed to a
: single area. Some place on the edge of town called The Bare
: Club. I reckon bears have not yet learned to spell.
: "i" before "e" and all that crap.
: Probably an ordinance about that somewhere.
