California’s black bears are skilled, useful and opportunistic. They eat anything and all – fruits, nuts, insects, human food and pet food. They love bird feeders. They killed Poach Mountain Lion – like one one – which they found. It’s called kleptoparasism. They can use their teeth below to work open a locked car door. If they find a path in your house and kitchen, they can open the jars of peanut butter and jam and, of course, honey.
they The sole bear State species, and, despite the name, their feathers from the blond of black. It was a century since Grizzly Bear searched to extinguish In California, it left its image, ironically, on the state flag.
The estimation of Black Bears numbers is an elaborate exercise. In its draft Black Bear Care Plan, The California Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates – using the new method – the population is about 65,000 and said it is stable in a decade. (For several years, the departmental estimates the population of 35,000 using the less advanced model of animal statistics model such as animals like bears with many predators who are most predators.
Whatever happened to the bear population, we know that the reports of the people have come. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, reports increased by decades – not due to many bears but many people living and vacationing the bear territory. There is an average of 674 reports annually from 2017 to 2020, but that’s shooting 1,678 per year by 2021 and 2022. Lake Tahoe in the mountains of San Gabriel are hotter.
California Assembly Heather Hadwick (R-Alttaas), whose district includes one of the hot spots, indicated Assembly Bill 1038to allow the hunter to kill – but not kill them – by pursuing them with dogs. The seizing of the bears at the time hunting time was violated by the Legislature in 2012 and did not need to return even if the hunters would not try to kill the bears.
As in 2012, it remains cruel bearsthat ended tired and hugging a tree. Dogs and bears can fight. And it is unclear how to chase a random bear, perhaps in a forest, weakening it from giving up for food around the people. (The Department of Fish and Wildlife has already allowed, in limited circumstances, especially with problem bears in communities or near livestock to the dogs.)
Another part of Hadwick’s bill will allow the fish and play commission to decide whether the hunters can use holes once to hunt and kill bears. The legislature is already prohibited in this habit, and abandoned its power to prohibit the restriction of the assigned commission without meaning.
Although the proposals of the bill do not help, birth discussions are dangerous and need to be minimized. There is a better way to do that. The Department and Beniforns’ Department and Benems and Country of seekers to make homes, cars, camps and farms that do not attract bears. there Many suggestions. Bears love to thread food. Don’t leave any food outside. Use trash cans of Bear-Proof Laters. Get all the food from your car and then lock the doors of the car. At the doors, put the mats causing a gentle electric shock if a conversion of them; they are called “unwanted mats.” Crawlspaces under decks should be secured. Remove bird feeders from your yard.
Livestock should be kept in secure pens at night. Electric fencing can be installed around chicken and enclosure coops. And for bears to keep around the houses or livestock, there are ways of groaning without joining dogs they chase. Lights activated lights, sound sounds and alarms scare bears.
And don’t feed them. In fact, it is prohibited from California State. But Ann Bryant, executive director and a builder of Bear League In the Tahoe basin, some vacations do, also put food outside wherever they remain in the hopes of a bear and then snap a picture. It works – and then the bear returns to expect a lot of food. That’s whether Bryant, whose organizational volunteers help people live more together with the bears, get a call from someone who wants to go to the bear to go with the bear to go with the bear to go with the bear.
Bryant’s counsel is simple and straightforward: Stop putting food, and if the bear appears again, “Get here, ‘Go here!’ You take his confidence that people can be good and feed them. You must inform the bear to the party’s well. “
So in all these ways, why do bears continue to go? “These strategies work,” says fish spokesman and spokesman for wild animal Peter Left. They only need to be more adopted: “The key is continuing education and awareness, forming good behavior, which reaches residents and guests to bring to the country.”
It will complete the department more aggressively to get the message. But here are some advice that the tourists should remember, says Bryant: “Think often in your mind, ‘I’m in the country.'”
