This is like people who move next to an airport then decide to complain about the noise.

That is not true. The more appropriate analogy is that this is like a wakeup call to stop emitting so much fossil fuels into the atmosphere which causing animals to migrate to different areas.

@PeaceIsYeshua 21 день назад

I agree with a steep fine, but definitely not $5K or taking their home. People who feed bears are putting others at risk, because it makes the bears less afraid of people and more likely to attack someone, and considering how bold they’re being trying to get inside homes, there should absolutely be a steep fine for the very ignorant people feeding them.

I have a property in northern california and I appreciate the wild life and all but the bear encounters are crazy. I've had them break into my home numerous times because theres a old lady neighbor who feed the bears. Shes been feeding them for 20 years apparently. I was told she would go hiking and drop food into random areas and makes a trail back to her home. She loves bears and all wildife apparently. I got so sick and tired of the break ins that I filed a complaint against her. She was not too happy about that and insisted shes gonna keep doing it. I told her, dont mind me and my hunter buddies then because we will be waiting on my porch with tags ready to go. She opted to pay for fencing material and labor with electric fence equipment running all the way thru as she's a multi millionaire. Apparently she was a trust fund baby. But yea as long as I dont hurt the bear. I happily agreed. She fenced up over 4acres worth 😂. Shes happy and I'm happy, end of story. And it was not my offer, it was her idea.

@scottmclaughlin5674 21 день назад

This isn't an invasion. 100 years ago, the neighboring mountain called "Bear Mountain" had the highest concentration of black bears in all of North America. Early 1900s Barnum and Bailey Circus sourced their circus bears from this area. Grizzley bears were hunted to extinction in the area 100 years ago as well. This isn't a "problem". This is natural populations rising back to natural levels. The question should be who moved into who's neighborhood?

@sango_wango851 21 день назад

The problem is that people feed them explicitly or allow them to feed. They start to learn that breaking in to houses and being around humans is a safe activity. Bears are naturally afraid of humans and their structures and have to learn over time that these are safe places for them to go and eat. It's one thing to be nice to wildlife but it's another to encourage behavior like this which ultimately will usually result in the death of the animal.
