[pct-l] Bear Experts Please Answer

[stillroaming]

No conjecture or opinion please! A response from someone who is truly 
qualified would be *greatly* appreciated.

Why are bears/humans a problem in very specific parts of the Sierras and not 
the Pacific Northwest?

I know you experts are lurking out there. Why is one such a problem and the 
other is not? Is it an enlightened population? Genetically disimilar bears? 
Food supplies? Policy? Media disparity? Equating bears to humans?

Here's a perfect opportunity to educate us all. I for one would love to 
know.

Thanks!
