Not only do the Bears come in to feed on the Salmon, but because of environmental pollutants in the streams and rivers, there are less Salmon to be had. Less salmon mean hungry bears and hungry bears mean more bear attacks. I suggest the next time someone living near a stream or river in Alaska decides to put fertilizer on their lawn, that they think accept the risk of a hungry bear attacking them.
I agree with you. I thought that Sweden was pretty tolerant of these things. It would definitely seem as if this decision goes against their best interests.
