""It's just no, we're going to kill her. She's going to die,""
""Bear #753 has been approved for lethal removal with the hope of getting its cub into wildlife rehabilitation so that it has a chance to live in the wild free of human conflict. We continue to monitor the situation.""
""It's a mother and her son, and it's just heartbreaking that they're going to kill her and orphan him and upset an entire community.""
""We offered to pay for all the expenses and help in any way we can help get her trapped and keep them together.""
Lake Tahoe authorities labeled a mother black bear, #753 (Hope), a problem bear and approved lethal removal after multiple break-ins. Residents and wildlife advocates have mobilized to prevent euthanasia and to seek nonlethal options to protect Hope and her cub, Bounce. The Department of Fish and Wildlife says lethal removal aims to break a cycle of break-in behavior and that officials hope to get the cub into wildlife rehabilitation. Advocates offered to fund trapping, relocation, and keep the pair together or separate them rather than see the mother killed. Officials continue monitoring incidents and urge residents to secure doors, windows, homes, and vehicles to reduce incursions.
