Black bears are NOT Grizzlies. I'd think you would know.

Black bears are very prolific. They will and do approach
homes and break in.

Grizzlies like the outdoors and wilds. They seldom break in
unless one is very hungry and can't catch food as normal and
stumbles onto a car/truck/house. Those are close in and need
trimming themselves.

Ever hear of the black bear issue in New Jersey ?

Palin's Real Record On Grizzlies
[
As she coos over them on TLC and anthropomorphizes them for the Tea Party, she
tends not to remind people that as governor, she backed a bill called the
"Active Management - Airborne Shooting" that allowed for aerial shooting of the
bears for the first time in Alaska's history.
...
The new regulation was described by the Alaska chapter of the Back-Country
Hunters and Anglers Club as follows:
[
The plan calls for the killing of 900-1400 black bears over a 3-5 year period.
Any licensed resident hunter over the age of 16 can participate after obtaining
a free control area permit. There is no limit on the amount of bears a hunter
can take, and hunters can take any black bear, including a sow with cubs, or
cubs. Up to four bait stations will be allowed, as well as same-day airborne
land-and-shoot "hunting." It will also be legal to sell the tanned hide of a
black bear taken in this control area. ....
]
...
At the same time, of course, Palin was championing the grizzly as the state
symbol on the quarter. ...
...
The board was stacked with Palinites including a close personal friend. When you
see her posing as an environmentalist and nature-lover, remember the truth. Very
few Alaska governors have been as brutal in their treatment of grizzlies as
Palin.

In this as in almost everything, she is a liar and a phony
