If hunters in Idaho can co-exist with black bears (and yes, there is a very controlled hunt), moutain lions (ditto), and are lobbying for a reintroduction of grizzlies (don't even THINK of shooting one of the few in the state!), what the hell's wrong with the French?

If the "hunting" party knew that the bear was in the area they have no bloody excuse! As someone who hunts, or rather, has hunted in the past and hopes to someday do so again*, I think that they should be used to feed the remaining bears....
