| The tranquilized bear in the back of the Fish and Game truck. |
The same bear that was on the roof of one of our downtown buildings came back yesterday and climbed on the roof of another building.
Fish and Game came and tranquilized him and decided to put him down. It is unfortunate, but necessary, since they had already tranquilized him and taken him out the road before. He traveled back to town, however, and as you can see, he was pretty used to being around people and had been raiding unsecured trash cans. He is the third bear that has had to be killed this year. The other two were hit by cars and were euthanized.
Here is a video of the downtown bear.
That is sad but when an animal looses that fear of man then it is safer. When I was a kid I thought my Dad was inhuman when he made that statement to me. Now as adult I understand.
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting in Alaska. Are you having that interesting weather that the weatherman keeps talking about? Those have been some awesome storms.
It was sad. They are such beautiful creatures, and to see one that close, even in a photo, is amazing.
DeleteThe big storms are in Anchorage, 800 miles north of us! We are having beautiful clear and sunny weather today!
Such a shame, but it has to be done to ensure people's safety!
ReplyDeleteSad but necessary, I guess. I know Alaska is huge, but I did a double take when reading the comment above about Anchorage being 800 miles away. Delaware is so very, very..........small. :0)
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my husband this morning that we need to drive to Alaska next summer. I didn't think about running into bears in town. I guess it is never dull in your little town.
ReplyDeleteThe photo on your header is absolutely wonderful.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the header - I took the photo last September on a beautiful day!
DeleteIf you do come to Alaska, make sure you visit Juneau! We will give you a personalized tour of our city! If you are driving, the best way is to take the Alaska Marine Highway, the state ferry system. You can board the ferry in Bellingham, WA and it's a 3 day trip to Juneau. You can continue north to Skagway or Haines and pick up the highway to Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali Natl. Park!
Oh, poor bear! He was just looking for food, and had found a ready supply near the people. :-(
ReplyDeleteRoofing repairs can be difficult and expensive and if you don't know what you are doing, it could be a complete replacement of your roof. Over time, the boards underneath the roof will begin to decay and rot away if there is any moisture that gets to them. roofers near me
ReplyDeleteThis is the sometimes the case because they are usually cheaper than the landscaping contractors that not only have the experience, but the proper licensing and insurance to make sure that your project will be done correctly. Landscaping Insurance
ReplyDeleteIf you think it's too much effort and need a financial motive then research tells us that a great roof space, smallest balcony or terrace can add 8% to the sales price of a house and 25% to the turnover of a restaurant! roofing the woodlands tx
ReplyDeleteThis is why hiring a contractor to do the same thing will cost more than if a handyman were to do the job. This is also why licensed professionals sometimes turn down smaller home repair jobs. painter in chicago
ReplyDeleteAdd some peat into each initial planting hole and mulch with compost or pine needles is all the pH adjustment they need, nothing complicated. They all bear adorable and sweetly scented spring flowers of pink and white. Lawn care Georgetown tx
