It's tough being an urban (or even suburban) bear. An irate homeowner connected his dumpster to 120 VAC after repeated bear chow downs in said dumpster. A lactating bear was electrocuted. This took place somewhere on Church St, back in June. Last Monday Fish and Game finally managed to round up the orphan cub for relocation
Let us hope that homeowner doesn't have any children or pets.

Was it worth it? I hope he is happy now! An electric fence, like for cattle, would repel but not kill.
I don't really approve. I got bears around my place, but they don't give me any trouble. I don't keep trash outside, I don't feed them, I keep my distance, and the bears keep their distance and we are all very happy. And, a child or a pet could easily have been electrocuted by accident.
