Ojai Wildlife League

I just read the article in the Star (http://www.vcstar.com/news/2010/jan/29/ojai-group-discusses-how-to-prevent-bear/) about your newly formed organization. I am glad the residents of Ojai are willing to search for solutions regarding Bears, Lions, etc. As a resident of Ojai, and a property owner the bear visited a few times, we called Fish & Game. I know many Ojai residents did also. We were told the bear was not a threat and Fish & Game would not come out. Only when the bear made it to downtown did Fish & Game respond- by killing it. I thought they were there to protect the Wildlife. We need a few organizations we can call,  your website is a good resource-to come out and deal with the bears, lions, etc. I know this is a common problem in other states too and we can learn from those organizations on how they deal with it. Let’s not involve Fish & Game with Ojai wildlife anymore. We can handle the situation for the betterment of Ojai and it’s wild creatures.
