The Editor,

Re. "Kill all the bears: a modest proposal for Mundy Park" (Letters, tricitynews.com, July 13). 

The letter writer's anger is misplaced. It should be aimed, primarily, at our local city councils, which have been engaged in a campaign of aggressively increasing people congestion. To accommodate this, they have taken away the habitat of these life-deserving animals.

They knew, or ought to have known, the bears would do what it takes to survive, which is what they are trying to do.

This is just one negative consequence of increasing people congestion. More are becoming evident all the time.
