When I was 8 months pregnant with my first child, a black bear kept appearing on the walk of the motel we owned in Alaska. Sadly, instead of capturing and relocating her – this shy black bear – we shot her. Ever since then, I’ve had great sympathy for all bears, especially black ones. So gently pulling a black bear into being reveals a lot about me now, as shooting her in the past revealed a lot about us then.
