A bear in Palmerton, Pennsylvania

My friend Jan sent me a video of a bear walking along Delaware Avenue, the main street of Palmerton, Pennsylvania, the town where I graduated from high school.  It was a very large bear, ambling along the sidewalk, checking Shea’s Hardware and Spillane’s Gym before crossing Delaware and heading to parts unknown.

Palmerton is a town with a feral cat problem.  Some residents have the cockamamie idea that the cats should be neutered, then released into the wild to kill small reptiles, amphibians, and song birds.  When anyone suggests that the cats be killed, all the cat lovers go nuts.  Small reptile, amphibian, and song bird lovers are outnumbered.


Do bears eat cats?  I sure hope so.
