California City Full of Bears
A California city, Monrovia (sounds a little Eastern Bloc, to me) , is reporting an unusually high number of bears in its neighborhoods. “City leaders have asked their staff to look into ways to limit bear activity in neighborhoods, including possibly mandating bear-proof trash cans and limiting how long residents can leave their trash cans out,” reports the LA Times.

“It just ain’t right,” remarks local outdoorsman and wildlife enthusiast Jeb Gimble, “it’s always been this way here. [Monrovians] have always lived peacefully along side our bears. It’s these modern kids movin’ in who are causing the trouble. Bears are normal here. I mean, look at the California flag! I call BS.”
Local officials have not released any official statement as to any new citywide bear policy, but locals fear for the worse, explains Rhonda McPhee, “I just don’t know. I feed them, I care for them. I even take the cubs in during the winter. If they go, I go.” It’s always sad when bears get turned away and I really hope the Monrovian government halts its erosion of historically precedented bear rights.
