As in most communities, garbage is greatest bear attractant in Prince George. When bears are able to access garbage, they become food conditioned (used to seeking out unnatural food sources) and even habituated (lost their fear of humans). These traits both lead to an increased public safety risk, ultimately resulting in bears being killed by Conservation Officers. We all have the power to prevent this outcome, by simply preventing bears from accessing our personal waste.
