Very disappointed in the Christie administration in allowing this to happen. I live in NJ bear country and people simply do not use bear proof garbage cans even in area with densest populations.
New Jersey's dense black bear population was one of the main reasons I live here. These are very easy to live with animals.
Reddhole...............It has been a while,,,,,,,,,,,,,glad to hear from you and agree,that Gov. Christie in NJ has yet to show any environmental empathy during his time in office......He claims he is a Jersey guy, but is oblivious to the "Garden State moniker and what should suggest a pro green agenda for one of the most densely populated human states
