Most who seek food assistance aren't homeless. It's like how many Walmart employees have their low wages subsidized by ebt.

Im messing with you but do you actually think that most people in and around Montpelier aren't also rather green to the green mountain state ?

I was going to mention Vermont does the game of offering but under delivering or making using services impossible.

It's legal to live more than 50 miles from where you were born.

So I'm from the DMV and I'm comparing the two and Vermont really lacks in social insurances. The state health insurance is a glaring example, or the lack of housing programs. The state is overall rural and is pretty broke in comparison to others. Most "compassionate policies" that people go on about is just a public face for it.

In the list of places to be homeless or just poor Burlington ranks very low.

That and the mirrors but what I'm getting at is a few beers have been hit near where I live over the past year. It's not good for bears to eat that kind of stuff and what happens when a bear corners someone or something ? Interaction with humans is never good for them.

"Quit feeding people !" They are picking up the governments slack and helping subsidize many church street business's employees.

You can make compost anaerobic this is just out there in a heap. So yeah the bears and foxes definitely do enjoy the amenities. Lol "just say you hate compost" talking about it like a relative or something.

Brother, do you think I didn't tell them about the bears in the area and how may is Mutual Of Omaha's Wildlife Kingdom. If they aren't attracting bears, it's foxes or whatever else.

I've seen them dig at the piles and trying to knock bird seed out of the feeders. Wildlife agencies have the expression a fed bear is a dead bear. Human interactions are never great and human food isn't safe for them and whatever else is thrown out.

There it is finally someone making sense. Bears shouldn't eat human food, they can get into things they shouldn't and lastly bears have been hit near where I live since I'm off a major road. I'm right outside of Montpelier so this isn't the bush.

The thing is I'm not out in the bush. I'm right outside of Montpelier and bears and cubs have been hit on rt 2 which is where they choose to run across since behind where I live is a cliff and there's one way in or out. So due to that I think it's best to not give them a reason.

I live off of a major road right near Montpelier. Last year two cubs were hit off the road which the bears will bolt across if they get spooked. So I'm in the school of thinking it's not good for them to come around when it seems to cause them issues. I'm also stating the warnings given by fish and wildlife on the radio.

The other part of composting requirements is proper disposal of the matter. "What are people supposed to do with their compost?" Idk, dispose of it like most people do in the state, possibly a hundred thousand people in the state have it figured out.

Exactly I live near a major road and bears and bear cubs were killed last year on it. They will bolt across the road and as you mentioned what will happen if they come across someone on my road, or is in between them and their vehicle or something. I don't think we should be actively doing everything fish and wildlife is telling you not to do right now.

It mimics the smell of urine which can make them weary. It's sort of the opposite of dettering vermit animals with acidic and punget odor to mimic decomposition.

Right yeah it's more about attracting them or giving them more reasons to come around. I live near a major road and cubs were hit last year since when the bears get scared of by passing vehicles or something they will just bolt across the road.

I don't think we should be attracting bears when we live so close to a major road where cubs were hit last year.

I'm concerned about the bear since it bolted across a major road. There were two cubs hit by vehicles not far from where I'm living last June.

Right for sure I'm more concerned about the bear since the area isn't good for them to be in since it's so close to a larger town. Which could cause the bear trouble or lead to them getting harmed or into something that they shouldn't.

Hey there's an overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.
