Emerald, thanks for your Comment. When I think about the day the bear was killed, I am still appalled by the level of ignorance, including my own.

A group of us (myself included) took some basic bear encounter training with bear expert Ann Bryant, when she was in Ojai on May 1st.

The next Ojai Wildlife League (OWL) meeting will be Wednesday, June 9th, 7 pm at 47 Taormina Lane. Sue Williamson and Marty Fast will give a report on their amazing experiences wth bears at Lake Tahoe with the Tahoe Bear League and Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, Inc., where they worked for about nine days with Ann Bryant.

June 2, yesterday on the news there was a thing about the mother bear and her two cubs that now “live” in a San Dimas backyard. There are so many bears coming out of the mountains in LA County they are now referred to as “residential bears”. They come for water and to rummage in garbage. People are being told to just live with them. I still ask myself, why Ojai of all places where people are “enlightened,” ecoconscious, etc. did this one lone healthy bear have to be killed?? It was frightened by the crowd and was doing no harm. Please, Ojai, keep fighting so this never happens again!
