Disagree, there are plenty of reasons why we need to do this to prevent worse situations from happening.

You can't just relocate every single animal that causes problems for humans, that causes problems elsewhere in the ecosystem.

Nah, too many people carelessly leave out smell attractors and feed the animals. We could reduce many points of conflict when we address those issues.

Humans have no right to murder living sentient beings, especially when bears are dying out in North America.

In my area there’s an unwritten rule that nobody calls conservation and nobody talks to them if they come sniffing around.

This article is complete trash and full of nonsense.

We would like changes to BC law to allow rehabilitation of bears of all ages, not just cubs.

Obviously knowing anything about conservation and rehabilitation is not a requirement for writing at this site. Adult animals cannot be rehabilitated, only relocated.

Instead, conservation rangers should obviously shoot people that get in bears' way /s.
