Bears at the Doorstep

Bears are crashing backyard parties more than ever—May alone saw more incidents than all of last year. Habitat loss and hunger are forcing them closer to homes, so we need to stop feeding them. Say goodbye to open garbage, chicken feed, and dog food. Instead, install electric fences—painful but effective deterrents that teach bears to stay away. Groups like Defenders of Wildlife have been helping homeowners for 17 years, offering up to $500 toward fence installation. It’s not about fighting bears—it’s about smart coexistence. Small changes in how we manage our yards can keep both humans and bears safe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
