Second Black Bear Spotted!
 |
| A second black bear was found in the Chico urban
area recently. This bear was located near Big Chico Creek west of highway
99 and appeared to have established
an encampment. Bolstered by recent sensitivity training and equipped with
the new park curfew rules the bear was quickly cited by the Chico Police.
He was then escorted out of the park system. The infraction will cost the bear $100, or the equivalent in bear currency, 13lbs of berries. If the bear returns and breaks the curfew again the fine may be increased. The bear was quoted as saying "this park stinks, I'm going to the Bear for a burger." A local officer was overheard saying, "I hope he doesn't really go to the Bear, there's no curfew "tool" there, and we haven't received funding for our tranquilizer gun yet." |
