Keeping bears wild BEARS are fattening up for winter hiberna- tion, and people are urged to be bear-aware and take steps to keep bears wild. Smells trom human foods, improperly stored garbage, dirty barbecue grills and unprotected composts all provide irresistible targets. Bears have an excellent sense of sineff, and most will overcome natural tears if the promise of food is strong, enough. Once a wild animal is accustomed to an easy food source, itis only a matter of time betore contlict arises. Although bear attacks are rare, learning how to. safe- guard vour property and yourself from bears is critical to ensuring minimal interac- tion and continued healthy bear populations. Here are some ups on reducing the chances of cre- ating conflicts with bears: @ store garbage indoors until collected; @ secure compost bins and other potential food sources in airtight containers; @ wash barbecue grills after each use, and cover and store barbecues securely; P keep pets in an enclosed area and store pet food securely; B don’t put fresh meat, fish or anima! parts in compost bins; B don’t throw cooking oil or grease outside; M@ protect beehives, com- posts and orchards with elec- tric fencing; @ create breaks along natur- al pathways by thinning our trees. Under the Wildlife Act it is an offence to feed bears, cougars, coyotes or wolves or to leave food, food waste or other substances with the intent of attracting danger- ous wildlife. If public safety is at risk, a dangerous wildlife protec- tion order can be issued requiring the removal or containment: of compost, food waste or garbage. People who fail to com- ply face penalties of up to $50,000. More information on reducing conflicts with bears is available at .
