The Editor,
We just encountered a young bear scampering away from a newly installed bear-proof garbage bin at the north end of Fremont Street in Port Coquitlam. It was needed for the dog walkers, mostly.
But then some idiot put not one but two huge bags of pop and beer cans in it, overflowing over the top as you can see from the photo — a sweet and aromatic attractant for bears, for sure.
People are ridiculously stupid and careless, it seems.
