Unfortunately for the bears
this usually results in their
death.

Bears are being needlessly
killed — close to 1,000 this
year — because of people’s
carelessness, says the office.

The situation in some areas
_ has become critical.

It is an extraordinary situa-
tion and the public’s help and
cooperation are needed to
ensure that as few “problem
garbage bears” as possible have
tobe destroyed to maintain
public safety. ~
. . Bears have been starved out
of their. usual food sources by
an unusually hot and dry sum-
mer, and they are moving in
increasing numbers into popu-
fated areas in their search for
food.

People’s carelessness and
negligence in handling their
garbage attracts bears into what
too often becomes a fatal con-
flict with humans.

Conservation officers are
reluctant to destroy bears that
are getting into garbage duc to
human negligence, but they”
are forced to take steps neces-
sary to protect the public.
Officers continue to report
cases of people feeding bears, 2

bear safety. These bears are not
good candidates for relocating.

Once bears are used to find-
ing food in a populated area,
they can get very aggressive in
pursuing . Bears have been

own to climb through an
open window to eat a fresh
berry pie cooling on a kitchen
table. One bear climbed three
flights of stairs and ripped
through a screen door to get at
food.

Bears this aggressive have
lost their fear of humans and
have to be destroyed.

People — especially in the
current situation — must tike
extra care with potendal food
sources that attract bears to
their homes, such as garbage,
fruit trees, bechives, pet food
and barbecue grills.

There are a number of pos-
itive actions people can take
immediately that will help co
save the lives of bears:

BM sccrrcly store garbage
indoors until pickup;

@ ensure compost bins and
other potential food sources
are secured in containers;

@ wash barbecue grills after
use. Cover and store barbecues
securely;

@ pet food should be securely
stored;

§& don’t pur meat, fish or ani-
mal! parts in compost bins;

Bi don’t throw cooking oil and
grease outside;

@ pick fruit as it ripens;

M thin trees to create a break in
natural pathways;

M@ protect bechives, compost,
livestock and fruit wees with
electric fencing if passibic.
