Comments: If it has been shown that bird feeders ARE attracting bears, then, YES, I would support these restrictions.

Yes or No?: Yes
Comments: All enticements to wander from the bush should be eliminated. Of course, town planners could make castle-style condos, with a central courtyard, then all wildlife can move wherever it wishes. The people can take turns playing games in courtyards. Elevated transit systems would allow animals to roam freely. Skytrains could evolve into much more than people movers.
