🐻 BEAR UPDATE: PLEASE GIVE HIM SPACE 🐻
🚨 PLEASE OBEY LAW ENFORCEMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
🚫 Do not approach, follow, chase, surround, or attempt to photograph the bear up close.
🐻 Let him keep moving.
We are asking everyone to please give the bear plenty of space and obey all directions from law enforcement. Do not approach, follow, surround, or attempt to photograph the bear up close.
The bear was chased back up a tree earlier because of the crowds gathering around him. When people give him space, he has a much better chance of continuing safely out of town.
Please let him keep moving. 🐻➡️
Keeping our distance is the safest choice for both the bear and our residents. Please keep children and pets indoors and stay away from the area where the bear is traveling.
Let’s give our four-legged visitor a clear path to head east and get back where he belongs.
