RE: Wrong solution

Unfortunately the only solution to the problem bear is euthanasia. It will not go away or stop its behavior. The dump bears were transported as far as Cleveland Peninsula at great cost and the bears eventually came back to Ketchikan. They continued their garbage eating behavior. They were disposed of in a humane manner by ADF&G.
This not something that Fish & Game takes lightly. They do not enjoy the disposal of these bears. However, if someone were to be injured or killed by one of these "food" bears what do think the consequence would be?
