A large male grizzly bear swam to British Columbia’s Texada Island last month.⁠ ⁠ The bear’s ear tag identifies it as a problem bear, and locals are worried that officials will come and euthanize it. Now concerned residents are attempting to interrupt the bear’s impromptu coastal getaway by crowd-sourcing the bear’s one-way ticket off the island. Officials are not on board with the plan, which could cost the locals up to $30,000 and goes against the province's guidelines.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #grizzly #grizzlybear #bear #bears #grizzlybears #britishcolumbia #conservation #nature #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Mark Robert⁠ Story by: alicejoneswebb
