A proposed bill aims to keep bears away from populated areas by using dogs to scare them off, but not everyone agrees with the approach.
Supporters say it helps reinforce the bear's natural fear of humans and ultimately reduce human-bear conflicts. Additionally, the bill would allow the Fish and Game Commission to establish an eventual bear hunting season using dogs.
Some advocates, like the Bear League in Lake Tahoe, disputed those numbers, citing its likely duplicate reports of the same bear. The group says this bill would be ineffective, dangerous and could cause cubs to be separated from their mothers.
As for the legislation, it's expected to undergo hearings in the next few weeks.
