Kurt, If literally everyone in ANC who'd normally vote yay for a thin-the-herd brown bear hunt - if they all -supported a well planned educate-the-public campaign on how to live/recreate/thrive in brown bear country, and if the four young people from our town who got torn up yesterday HAD attended, I think they'd have been making noise, had bear spray and might have given that bear a way to get away, unseen or seen, either way.
