Christie Greene: Store trash indoors

Advertisement

After reading about the bear shot in downtown Steamboat, I could only think of one thing. Why are some residents storing their trash outside? This tragedy could have been so easily avoided if folks would keep food sources such as trash, birdseed and pet food locked away indoors with trash going out the morning of pickup. This is standard procedure in the mountains and law in some towns. I hope you find your renegade bear-killer, but in the meantime, by simple common sense changes in our own behavior, we can keep the bears in the Colorado mountains wild ... and alive.
