If you don't discriminate between sources of information, then you'll get confused. There have been several posts that have disparaged the scientific research without providing any basis for the criticism. No references have been provided to anything that would demonstrate that the scientific information is incorrect. We have pointed to Herrero, who is widely considered to be an expert in bear behavior. He doesn't live thousands of kilometers from bears conducting his research in an armchair. He lives in Alberta (last I heard) and conducts his research in the field. If you or anyone else has information more useful that Herrero's, please post a reference.
