The Editor,
Someone’s not thinking...
I walk along the Pitt River dike just about every day and have seen huge changes within the past couple of years. More and more housing is being built, encroaching on the land that used to belong to the wildlife.
Two years ago, I took a picture of a bear climbing the fence (I was already in my car). Today on my walk, from the parking area on Dominion Avenue, I came upon a coyote and noticed signs of bear droppings along the path.
Surprisingly, there is a row of fruit trees (full of ripe fruit) planted metres away from the children’s play area. That’s asking for trouble, and it will be the poor bears that end up paying the price.
