The context of the following conversation is Lee was concerned about bears in the park, so Lee threw their garbage away.:
Lee says I cannot believe the amount of garbage that accumulates around this park..
The friend responds I know, and the scariest part is the bears that are attracted to the garbage..
Lee responds That is exactly why I decided to throw my garage away, right away! The bears are scary!.
The friend responds Yes they are, and people don't realize it, or some people just want to see a bear so they leave their garbage out..
Lee responds Now that is just silly and dumb, bears can really hurt you..
The friend responds Yes they can, and I am good if I don't see one in person!.
