About all I can say about them is that the eat, drink, sleep and poop.
They are not a beneficial animal in the animal kingdom."
100% Wrong!!! An absolutely foolish statement...
All large predators fill a niche in healthy ecosystem.
Coyotes, bobcats, mt. lions, bears, birds of prey, all play a role. An DO NOT just eat, sleep an poop. You forgot breed as well.
They live in FL, the bears there DO NOT go to sleep! If you keep feeding them, they will continue to show.
