    Huh, Florida has bears, I didn’t even think that bears lived that far south.

      There’s a bunch of black bears in NW Florida. During the hell years I lived there 911 would get calls about them in yards and the advice was to leave them alone unless they are hurting someone. Animal control wouldn’t come out if there wasn’t a threat. They were usually just meandering between forest patches. And it was illegal to shoot them in most circumstances; especially since most of this was in subdivisions.

      This would effectively allow cowboys to start blasting in your neighborhoods. Probably leaving rotting corpses of young black bears on the corner or in the streets.

        They’re in central Florida, too. Probably all over the state.

          A fucking bear tv show where the bear lived with Clint Howard whose dad was a forest ranger in the everglades. Just like Lassie and Flipper except with a bear.
