BTW, I'd fine the idiots as well, but that won't prevent the PA from
losing
a lawsuit for failing to address an obvious problem the next time a

law-
abiding camper gets mauled by a bear.


But these 3 weren't law abiding campers. I'm not pretending to know
all about this entire situation, and I'm not pretending to know
anything about bears beyond my experience, but they were clearly
camping in a no-camping area (one of those beer bottle strewn bonfire
sites a quarter mile from a road and next to a waterfall). I've camped
in many of the PA state parks, and I believe they all give instructions
on proper storage of food regarding bears. Like - don't leave your
food in your tent.

But - is PA failing to address a bear problem? What is it? What is PA
failing to do?
