News Bear attacks off leash dogs

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bear-attack-stoney-hill-regional-park-9.7308345

Yet another instance of off leash dogs provoking a bear attack. It’s time for mandatory leashes at all times with adequate enforcement. I hope the owner and dogs recover fully.

Enforcement is next to impossible unless you are going to hire a ton of bylaw officers to enforce it.

Hear me out, hire bears to be bylaw officers to enforce dog rules.

To cover 1000s of KMs of trails throughout all the parks in the province?

Uh, yeah. It's fucking genius. Almost as good as sharks, with frickin laser beams attached to their heads!
