Man Fined $27K for Feeding Wildlife | Vancouver News

A West Vancouver man got slapped with a $27,000 fine for feeding bears and coyotes — yes, intentionally — back in spring 2022. Conservation officers caught him leaving food near homes and trails, and he admitted it was deliberate. The hefty penalty, with $20K going to habitat conservation, sends a clear message: messing with wildlife is dangerous and illegal. When animals get used to human food, they invade neighborhoods — putting both people and animals at risk. Officials urge everyone to secure trash and report suspicious activity.
