A bear doesn't necessarily shit in the woods. They sometimes shit on the plains, in the mountains, on a city street, in a city park, in a zoo, in a river, ....., or most anywhere he happens to be when he feels like taking a shit. Baron Max
If it's a problem for you, petition for mandatory potty training for all young bears in your area. Be heard. You and your views are not insignificant.
Obviously Polar Bears would love to shiznit in the woods, considering that the Arctic temperatures get pretty cold and a wood actually keeps the ambient temperature warmer than out on a frozen tundra. This would save many a bear behind from the cold.
I think the deeper question here though is why does the bear shite in the woods. There are the obvious reasons: - The bear is in the woods and must, as we all do, take a dump. - The bear is not in the woods but craves privacy so goes to the wood to defecate. - The bear hates the woods and wishes to shit it up as much as possible - The bear loves the woods and wishes to discourage others from entering by shitting it up as much as possible I think there must be a better answer.
