Latest report on problem bears in Churchill, Manitoba, from the town’s Facebook page.
Polar Bear Alert Program Activity Report as of Oct. 19 (click to enlarge):
30 polar bears handled to date this year; 11 bears in the holding facility this week (6 released, including a sow and two cubs). As mentioned in the new Polar Bear Town reality TV show, Churchill officials have been more vigilant and pro-active since the two polar bear attacks in 2013 than they were previously, capturing any bears than come close to the town.
