“We are very lucky to have bears as wild neighbors and this excellent film clearly shows that we need to learn to coexist with these amazing intelligent sentient beings. They should not pay the price for our lack of understanding of who they are and what they need to survive and thrive in what were once their homes. When we trespass into their lives and they find easy-to-get food or a pool or tub in which to flounder about, we need to do all we can to respect the lives of each and every individual. This important film also makes it very clear that it is not very difficult to do what we need to do to accept their presence. In fact, we are lucky to have this unique opportunity to learn more about them and other animals who we’ve wantonly displaced. and who simply want to find a safe place for themselves and their families.” Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., author of The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy
