The bear had become so brazen that not only was the bear breaking into people's homes, but also had a feast at a District of Summerland garbage container storage site.
District of Summerland officials are speaking up after a bear had to be destroyed after becoming dependent on non-natural food sources.
“The bar had broken into a residence in Summerland in the Prairie Valley Road in the Summerland area and had its way with a pantry,” said Sgt. James Zucchelli, a B.C. Conservation Officer. “It was determined the bear had entered two other residences in that general area of Summerland, so this bear was definitely a public threat, a public safety situation,” said Zucchelli.Jack Zloty, a Summerland resident who lives beside the garbage container storage site, says the bear gave he and his family quite the scare.
