'Feed the bears' posters found around Lake Tahoe

(KRON) -- Someone has been posting fliers around Lake Tahoe encouraging people to feed bears, and give the wild animals access garbage, because "they need it to survive," the U.S. Forest Service reported. Information on the fliers is categorically false, federal wildlife officials emphasized. "Bears are perfectly capable of surviving on their own, and are far better off without any human handouts," the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit wrote. Trying to "help" bears by feeding them is "blatantly false and extremely harmful misinformation that is detrimental for Tahoe bears," the U.S. Forest Service stated. Black bear cubs are cute. But you should never feed them.

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:00:59 GMT

(BCN) -- California's legislative advisors Thursday lambasted the state's ambitious proposal to regulate urban water conservation, calling the measures costly and difficult to achieve, "in many cases without compelling justifications."

They also warn that the added costs will ultimately be borne by customers. "Whether the benefits of the new rules ultimately will outweigh the costs is unclear," the report says. "These doubts are particularly worr...
