As reported in the Sierra Sun, a homeowner in Incline Village reported a bear break in and sought relief from the threat. Nevada F&G placed a trap in front of his home. The bear didn't show up but Bear League volunteers came instead to keep the bear(s) from entering the trap.
Seems that Bear Leaguers have crossed the line here. How does this confrontation aid the health and safety of local bruins? Does it permit the bear to continue his current m.o. without interruption? Is the homeowner to assume that his security, peace and quiet at home is now subject to the approval and oversight of a volunteer animal rights organization?
Ann Bryant, president of the Bear League and its official spokeswoman, lives in Tahoma. Her presence at the Incline Village trap is in question: was she there or not?
Apparently, she picks her spots: she is nowhere to be found around Glenridge in Meeks Bay where bears are literally running amok through the neighborhood.
The Incline Village homeowners eventually called to have the trap removed, for the sake of their neighbors who had to deal with the Bear Leagues around the clock.
More to follow.
