neighborhood in King County say they're concerned about an increasing number of interactions with bears as more and more people move to the area.
"Bears are going to be bears," she said. "We’ve noticed an increase of bear presence, whether it’s raiding a beehive or getting into berries or trash cans that we didn’t experience before." "We used to do that all the time, but the science behind it just doesn’t hold up. It's not fair to that bear. It's not fair to the bear whose living room you just dumped him into," said Chandler. "The only reason we would try to trap a bear if there is a substantial public safety issue, and that’s not going to be a relocation thing. We are capturing and killing that bear right now.
"Everybody has to be on the same page, has to get the bear resistant cans, has to put the garbage in the garage, has to take the bird feeders down," said Chandler. "Again, the number one issue that we have is the food source, bird feeders, garbage cans, BBQ grills, and to even a lesser extent, beehives. There have been some issues, there are every year with depredation on chicken coops.
