Please pack out/take your garbage home with you. Don’t feed the bears! This is how humans kill bears - with negligence. Gold Creek Pond, Kittitas County, WA. https://t.co/IWSQx1p0CD

The real and only cure is to use bear-resistant garbage cans, (call your garbage hauler to rent these) and to not put out bird-feeders between April through November.

Dropping a mature bear into another bear’s territory forces introduced bears to fight resident bears over habitat and resources - a fight which many bears lose with fatal consequences.

There are no problems bears; only problem humans.

A Redmond bear is being sought by WDFW after bluff-charging a pedestrian but relocation is not a cure, it can also be an expensive death sentence.

Bears get jars & cans stuck on their heads.
Anything that smells like it contains organic compounds can smell like food to a bear. :(

Holly and her new cub! Holly is 20, which is the life expectancy of Brown Bears, so she's doing great!

@Estivel @bubbaprog Police can't afford to have bad apples..or to paraphrase another post..if we had a few "bad apple" airline pilots who flew planes in to buildings and cliffs repeatedly and they shrugged it off and said "oh well..."

Bears, attracted by the smell of seed, can raid coops and take chickens. Pet rabbits, llamas or goats are not excluded from being lunch. We highly recommend you install electric fencing for the above animals if you live in bear country. Installation is easy.

Bear 201: What do bears eat in late Spring when there are no berries around?

Grass, dandelions, tree cambium, roadkill - and any small animals - including rabbits and fawns if they can catch them!*

2 Bears!

- Store garbage indoors until morning of pickup OR rent wildlife-proof garbage containers from garbage company.
- Take in bird feeders.
By not feeding bears you help them live better lives in the wild.
