After reading the recent article about the South Lake Tahoe man shooting a bear, I was devastated.
Bears have become a growing issue in the Tahoe Basin for the past several years and I commend the surrounding communities for doing their part to help resolve it.
Locals, especially, have experienced first-hand bear activity in our area. Why? Because we live in Lake Tahoe, an area rich with wildlife. This bear was going through this mans garbage. Solution? Dont leave your garbage out for bears to access it. Everyone who lives in the Tahoe Basin knows this is a no brainer.
Secondly, for this man to follow the bear down the street and into a pasture, then shoot it, is horrific, pathetic and inhumane.
For the question of whether or not this man violated the law by shooting the bear ... yes. I hope the Department of Fish and Game make the right decision in taking care of this tragic occurance.
