US agency warns: Conflicts between bears and humans are increasing
The bears in the US state of Connecticut are black bears (Ursus americanus americanus).
More than 1,000 black bears live in the state, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) estimates.
In Farmington there were said to be 57 copies last year.
The authorities regularly provide information about the population and the dangers as well as rules of conduct to enable peaceful coexistence between humans and bears.
However, if a bear attacks a human, safety comes first, according to the DEEP website.
The bear is then “humanely euthanized”.
That was only recently the case.
A 74-year-old woman was attacked and bitten by a bear while walking her dog.
Bears that had entered houses also had to be euthanized this year.
According to the agency, conflicts between bears and humans continue to increase.
The bear family is apparently a regular visitor to Olivia Germano's garden, as other Facebook posts show.
The animals sniff at the garden furniture on the terrace.
So far everything is going peacefully.
