Please do not kill the black bear. Builders, lusting for more money, are destroying wilderness and undeveloped land in once-beautiful Williamson County. This is forcing wildlife to find other areas. There will be nothing left if we continue to asphalt, concrete and build, build, build. Sad and I am a native of this area.
