Bear Friends,

Again, I must sadly report that our 6th bear was killed on the North Shore this past Weds, late morning, after it was believed to have caused great damage to a garage and also may have broken into a home earlier in the week. The authorities had to put out a trap in the area which caught the suspect bear before he may have caused further damage or worse yet, hurt someone. (read last posted Whistler article)

Please go to website and click on News to see this report and a few new(one old) articles posted that are related to bears in some way. I have also added a couple of new interesting links to my links page like Carnivoreconservation and Stopbearfarming. Worth a glance.

Please feel free to comment on any August or previous month’s archived articles, If you have a question, I will try and get a relevant bear expert to answer or comment.

Thank you and Bears Matter!

Barb M.
