Local residents in the Glenridge subdivision are justifiably irate at the situation with bear breakins. Aside from the damage inflicted on their homes, residents recognize the dangers involved with determined wild animals running amok through the neighborhood.
There are calls for hunting licenses and active hunters to remove the problem. Apparently, the numbers of bears in the state has exceeded the carrying capacity of the wilderness available to the species. Combined with the intelligence of the bruins and their learned behaviors, an aggressive response seems to be the only available solution. How this plays out remains to be seen, but apparently, Fish and Game are not concerned and El Dorado County takes its usual stagnant response.
A break - in on Sunnyview Dr. in the last few days illustrates the issue: the bear went through the front door after tearing out a glass panel. He looted the cupboards, the refrigerator, and managed to turn on the gas stove. A serviceman arrived shortly after and prevented the fire that certainly would have followed.
more later.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
