In the article: Black Bear Enters Tents At Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco In Blairstown Township, Warren County: The bear was captured then tagged and released 10 miles away. Camp No Be Bo Sco or the Boy Scouts of America would NEVER give the OK to capture and destroy an animal! We made sure that before they set up the trap that the bear was to be living and released into the wildlife 10 miles away. Please correct your facts. Your facts are WRONG!

You hardly saw them in the woods and never saw the bears walking through backyards or breaking into houses. The only two bears I ever saw in High Point in the 50's were Andy,he was in a cage, and the other was just entering the woods between Saw Mill Lake and Stokes off the road about 100 yards ahead of the car we were in. The population was basically well controlled and not encroaching into human habitat. It wasn't until the late 80's that bears started moving into proximity of peoples homes. This was due to the gross mismanagement of the bear population by the NJDEP. Before 1986, I would walk in the woods and never see a bear. After 1986, I never walked in the same woods without seeing a bear each and every time. The bears invaded our environment. We did not invade theirs. Bears are attacking people in NJ now. I have never heard of this prior this NJDEP debacle. One word in NJDEP is "protection". I guess people don't count in the Corzine/Jackson equation of "protection". I have said this before and will keep saying it. It is irresponsible, negligent, pathetic and sick to put a bear's life before that of a child or any person for that matter.
