"Controversial Highway Poster Sparks Outrage Over Conflict Potential"

Outrage erupted in Lake Tahoe after flyers encouraging people to feed bears were discovered, posing a danger to both the bears and humans. While the flyers contained misinformation about the bears' diet and needs, experts emphasized the risks of habituating wildlife and the importance of coexisting with them without providing handouts. Wildlife advocacy groups swiftly removed the flyers and emphasized the need to respect boundaries with bears and wildlife, secure garbage, and educate communities on best practices for living in bear country.
