Cohousing-L Mailing List: Bears

I forwarded the bear question to the Takoma Village chat list as a
reassurance that the things we have to deal with at least do not include
bears. Surprisingly, I received an answer. Since bears can be either
carnivorous or omnivorous, it probably depends on what kind of bears you
have --
