A bear cub recently died in Manitou Springs after it got into a trash can, was frightened and scurried up a nearby power pole, where it was electrocuted. It's just the latest example of how trash attractants are killing black bears, CPW says.
It's just the latest example of how trash attractants are killing black bears, Colorado Parks and Wildlife's southeast division said. The garbage bins were not bear-resistant.Manitou Springs has a wildlife ordinance that says all trash containers must be secure from wildlife at all times and garbage must be stored in wildlife-resistant containers or in a secure location inaccessible to wildlife.
Bears are attracted to human food sources and an unlocked, unsecured trash can provides easy access to a meal. Animals that become accustomed to using this as a regular food source typically lose their fear of humans. And with great memories, they know where to return to grab something to eat — including specific neighborhoods and driveways. While they are not typically aggressive animals, they can easily harm a person, especially one that gets in between it and food.
Denver 7+ Colorado News Latest Headlines | May 9, 8am CPW is asking residents to ensure they have bear-resistant trash cans if they live near bear habitat. The standard metal or plastic trash cans will not prevent a bear from accessing what's inside. Many disposal companies supply bear-resistant trash containers for an extra cost.
