Nuisance Bears

In this photo taken June 9, 2012 and provided by Patty Willams a three legged bear tries to open a bear-proof trash can in Burnsville, N.C. The bear was shot and killed in August by management of an upscale housing development in the Blue Ridge Mountains. That bear’s death in Mountain Air, about 35 miles north of Asheville, has become a flashpoint for outraged wildlife advocates who say the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission needs to find non-lethal ways to handle so-called nuisance bears.
