NJ Bears Become More Aggressive
Twice as many bears invaded New Jersey homes in the first half
of 2002 as in the same period last year, indicating a growing and
increasingly aggressive bear population statewide, the Division of
Fish and Wildlife said.
"The bears have very little fear in many cases; they've learned
to live among people," Al Iveny, spokesman for the Division of Fish
and Wildlife, told the Daily Record on Monday. "If they lose their
fear among people, that's a problem."
Those living in bear country, which includes Morris and Sussex
counties, face the gravest threat through July, when breeding
season ends, Iveny said.
On Monday in Sparta, in an incident indicative of others in the
state, a bear entered an open garage of a home on Graphic
Boulevard, near Route 15.
The bear "showed no fear" of a responding
police officer, Iveny said. From 8 feet away, the officer - trained
through a free program offered by the state - shot and killed the
bear.
The state estimates that there are as many as 1,900 bears
statewide, compared with 1,400 last year and about 100 in the
1970s. The state also has documented an increase in nearly all
categories of aggressive bear behavior, including attacks on dogs,
beehives, camping tents, livestock, vehicles and homes.
The number of home entries is the clearest indication of a new
type of aggressive bear behavior.
From Jan. 1 to June 29, there were 13 entries, compared to 26
during the same period last year. In all of 2001, there were 31 and
in 2000 there were 29.
Iveny said there is no single reason for such a steep increase
in aggressive behavior. Part of the problem, he said, is that bears
are expanding their range while more people are moving into bear
country.
These bears - because they face no negative reinforcement, such
as legal hunting - are becoming less apprehensive about approaching
humans, Iveny said.
The problem becomes most pronounced now, in the middle of the
June-July mating season.
First, yearlings - bears more than a year
old weighing more than 100 pounds - are leaving their mothers so
the sows can breed again. As they search for territory uninhabited
by older male bears, "they end up in all kinds of weird places,"
Iveny said.
Second, males are wandering around looking for new mates. And
third, females are foraging for food for their new cubs, often in
residential areas.
On Friday in Vernon, a 188-pound female entered
a house through a screen door and ransacked the home. She was
killed and her cubs, found nearby, were tagged and released.
Also in Sussex County, in Franklin on Thursday, a 240-pound
female bear punched a hole in the screen door of a trailer home
looking for a meal. A 16-year-old resident came out of his bedroom
to find the bear in the kitchen.
The boy ran back to his room, locked the door and escaped
through a window as the bear ate food in the pantry and
refrigerator for about 45 minutes. A police officer finally coaxed
the animal outside, shooting it to death, Iveny said.
To prevent a home invasion, Iveny said residents should secure
garbage cans, keep trash in a clean and sealed container in the
back of the garage or basement, take birdfeeders in at night or
hang them high in trees, clean barbecue grills after cooking, keep
pet food inside at night and leave doors shut behind screen
doors.
