I love seeing evidence of things unseen... tracks in the snow that show how wild an area we live in, in spite of the close press of people, there is nature living right under our nose. Whether we like it or not, and whether we are aware of it or not.
On the other hand, when NJ allowed the bear hunt, I wasn't against it. The bear hunt seemed more noble in some ways; I have nothing against hunting, and although we don't have many bears in NJ and they did use this area as a habitat at one time, they seem more dangerous and don't seem like they have a place here. (Everyone feeds the darn bears, for one thing, so they all start to associate people with lunch.) And we had a controlled hunt, we didn't just arbitrarily spread around some poison and see how many we could get.

it gets harder and harder for wildlife to live as more and more of their habitat is taken away. i hope more cities develop urban boundaries and learn to build up instead of out. we need to learn to live with animals, at least as much as they are learning to live with us.
