The final straw came when a homeowner called to say the bears were denning under their deck.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Four bears that were frequent visitors to a neighborhood in East Anchorage have been euthanized, according to the Department of Fish and Game.
“They had been operating in East Anchorage all summer, getting into trash and birdseed and chickens and all sorts of things,” Battle said. “They just kept getting worse and worse and more and more habituated,” he said. “And here when we were dealing with them the last couple weeks, because we could them see and evaluated them, we could see they had gotten past the point of no return.”“As you might imagine, no one is really excited about having four bears denning under their deck, basically right up against their house,” Battle said.
“They would come out, they would be gone for a few hours, they would either come back to that same deck and go back under there once the spray had dissipated or they would go to the other deck,” Battle said.
