Attractant management in Whistler ‘needs to be 12 months a year,’ says conservation officer
After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to haze a black bear out of Whistler Village, conservation officers made the decision earlier this month to kill the mature male after deeming the animal’s behaviour a public safety risk.
Both the BC Conservation Officer Service and RCMP responded numerous times to draw the black bear away from confined spaces like underground parking lots, courtyards and the Village Stroll, Gravel explained. The COS also worked with Whistler Bylaw to address areas where the bear had accessed food. The bear was between five and 10 years old, Gravel estimated, and untagged, meaning the animal had no prior encounters with conservation officers or history of concerning behaviour.
Still, when a bear successfully finds easily accessible food sources at this time of year, the animal is more likely to stay out, the conservation officer explained.
