Bears eating garbage By Bryce Mattson October 14, 2013
It can be annoying for people when bears eat our trash. But it can be deadly for bears if they eat your trash. You can get a ticket if you don't keep your trash cans secured when the bear gets into your trash. Once a bear gets into your trash once they probably get into your trash again and more frequently. If bears keep getting into your trash they could become a nuisance bear and possibly have to be shot. As humans we could avoid all that by keeping our trash secure. Just like if we were fishing we wouldn't let our garbage get dumped in the ocean. As Alaskans we are blessed to see varied wildlife but if we let bears eat our trash we could be jeopardizing the lives of some of the wildlife we appreciate. Sincerely, Bryce Mattson
