Zookeeper thanks.
Come to think of it there would have been kids there if it wasnt a Sunday. The problem is the day care is so close to our house that sending it back to the woods sends it back this way. It needs to not seeek out the dumpster and stay back in the woods.
EDITED TO ADD: Got one it isnt the best...
The dumpster is yellow the white on the ground is some of the garbage. The basketball hoop is in the driveway along with lots of ride on toys and bikes. There are a few more trees to the left before you get to the main building. It looks like a plastic dumpster to me.
I would hate to be Equus5O on here because she is the only rep of police here in our state that I know of on the board. The hands of the police can be as tied as ours. I would not want to be the officer dealing with the BEAR people or the dumb rules. I bet bear control wasnt one of the dreams of the officers who signed up for training! More than any she has to be straight and narrow on her path. I believe our police come everytime we call but I could just as well go down and blow my whistle. I think from now on the cops AND fish and game will be called. I even got a laugh out of the people I saw today in town hall when asking about a bear problem and they were like what bear problem didnt you hear the govenor we don't have one. Thank God primarys are tomorrow... bye bye Corizine! I so hope...couldnt happen fast enough. I will be working from 5am till 8pm tomorrow so my birds will not be seeing any sun tomorrow.
I don't own a gun (yet, I am such a chicken though) so maybe I should make more of a fuss. I think I will take those LONG hours sitting tomorrow to write the article. Watch, one of the B.E.A.R. people will be working with me. I told Mom2Cool I would write... time to let the trama out and see where it goes. Oh I got a pic of the dumpster with the garbage on the ground. It was from far away so I will see if it is worth posting.
I think I will start the article offf with: If one more person tells me to get rid of my chickens....
Actually asking for help on Freecycle one woman did say that totally curious and not offending and I replied. I think I will incorporate that in the article. Think BYC will be higher in the Google rankings because my daughter named her ducks after the Jonas brothers??
Here is some of what we wrote.
I don't mean to be flippant, but why don't you just get rid of the chickens? Just a thought... Sorry I can't help you out.
Hi,
Because (and I do not mean to sound harsh) why should I. I have every right to keep my own livestock. Why should I have to get rid of them. If it isnt my birds it will be someone else's (and it has been a lot of others). The bear has killed goats, and horse's also not just small animals. The danger up here is VERY real and I am not just talking about one bear I believe it is 3 different ones from what I can tell so far. Everyone has the right to farm; it is where all your supermarket stuff comes from but usually in states where they keep control. Think about it for a minute these are some of the things I can not do because of bear overpopulation (not just because of rogue bears) I can not feed the birds. I can not leave any pets outside nor anyone in the area/dog cats birds in cages anything. I can not leave my 14 yr old daughter outside by herself to play. I can not leave the house without scanning the area before I step out the door. I can not leave my car door open while I transport groceries into the house. Just recently while someone was stopping by a friend they left their car door open and while the food was out of the car that she was dropping off for the friend and THANKFULLY the child wasnt in the car a bear got in a ripped the heck out of the car, for no reason. The bear doesnt eat my chickens it rips them limb from limb, scattering beaks from heads and blood covering the walls, puncturing the pigeons chest...and what did it eat, maybe one it ran off with. If you really want to see what it did to me last year go here: http://hopeslongstruggle.spaces.liv...otoAlbum:380047c3-f813-4f71-9fc2-4034d53d4c89
It is so bad that if not this year, which would be a shocker to most of us up here, there will be a killing or hurting of a human.
It is really serious and the fact that the woman in charge of the BEAR group trying to protect them was illegally feeding them and had about 12 visit her neighborhood often endangering her neighbors is really scary. Animals above humans well the bears above my chickens anyway. Almost every other state has laws to make the population manageable. They are all much safer than we are. Not to be snotty but a bear shows up in Bergen County and it makes the news and they take it away, let it show up here and we are stuck with it! I hope you hear my hear tone on this, nothing was said in a mean way it is hard to convey the emotion that goes with this and I dont want to seem to be attacking. We just live in different parts of a state where the same issue isnt dealt with the same or the problem as severe. I lived up here like 7 years with no bear problem but there are to many and not enough food to feed them. It is very very unnatural for a bear to have 5 cubs but they are having them up here. If there are no room, no food, and no predators for the parents, where are those babies going to go? Into our homes, and they do. According to fish and game there are so many cat.1 bears up here that the traps are all being used and because I havent been hurt or my birds killed I am not even on the list for a trap. A bear has to kill livestock, hurt a human, or do damage in excess of $500 then it is considered a cat one bear. How scary is it that there are so many out there! Last year I had to wait for mine because they were all used! I had night mares and couldnt sleep for months. I truly am terrified. I live in fear. I just need to find some ways to make this easier to watch them till something is done. Hope that helped show you things from this side. We love our chickens as much as people love their dogs . My daughter loved her ducks, Kevin Joe and Nick...thank God she did not see the bits they were torn into.
Thanks for asking,
