Bears

Did you know that there are four main species of bears in Canada? They are black bear, brown bear, Polar bear and Kermode (or Spirit) Bear. In Canada, it is very important to protect all species of bears. Did you know that bears are very intelligent mammals? For example, if you were to leave your garbage outside, and a bear managed to get in to the bin, next time you leave your garbage that same bear will come back and eat it again. This same thing will keep happening. As a result, it is a really good idea to just put your garbage out on the morning of when the garbage truck comes. Humans are the real reason bears keep getting shot or relocated by RCMP and conservation officers. If we keep making the same mistake there will soon be no bears left in the world. So, PROTECT OUR BEARS!!Bears are also a main tourist attraction in Canada. For example, when I was driving up to Whistler in the middle of summer, about 18 cars and taxis were pulled to the side just to get one picture of the brown bear. This is also a hazard because a bear can easily get frustrated when people are surrounding it and taking pictures. This can cause the bear to attack, then RCMP and conservation officers will likely have to relocate the bear or put it down if it returns to the location again! In all, I hope this teaches you a lesson about how to treat bears of all kinds!?!?
