They’re just going to have to lure that bear into a trap.
Set up a BBQ outdoors. I would recommend Open Pit sauce.
Ask which zoo is looking for one. Duh.

Bear meat jerky solves the “crisis”. Jeeze.
Eventually he’ll get more aggressive. Also, it seems like South Lake Tahoe has a security problem. Like, if this bear has broken into “30 homes” they should be more worried about the safety of their families from HUMAN predators.
He hasn’t hurt anyone - yet. They should try to relocate him ASAP. Martha’s Vineyard might be a good spot.
There’s a thing called killing it.
Its a BOC = Bear of Color -black/brown non-white bear.
Breaking into homes for food?
Perhaps he/she/zir is just reclaiming the legitinate food stuffs that were unjustly STOLEN by the white devil bears?
Those priviledged Polar Bears have all the rules/laws and patriarchal cisgender protections.
FREEDOM for the BOCs!
Get yerselves a Cajun...

In 1905, this bear would have been dead on sight.
I see now. Big Guy just wants his 10%.
Such a magnificent animal would look beautiful on the wall of my den.
The bear needs to be eliminated.
Doesn’t this sound familiar. When you get an animal that becomes comfortable with man because they don’t do anything about them, they get aggressive to their wishes and no longer fear man. Another example is the gators in the southeast.
So when an animal is no longer held responsible for its actions, and becomes aware it can do what it wants good or bad, with no or very little repercussion, then it then becomes a danger?
I don’t think I have to open up a forum for the defunding of police here...it’s probably understood. Man is an animal. And when people that wish to act like them do so, and there are no limits applied to them, then when do they become a danger? This thought can be applied to a number of groups or sub groups in the US. Take your pick. My first paragraph applies here and man can be added to that short list.

He might just taste like Chicken.
Boom.
Capture him. Send him to a zoo or wild animal park. Let the bugger live out his life educating visitors or even reproducing. When he dies there can be a raffle or bid for his stuffed carcass. Save his genetic material for research or fertilization. Help defray the cost of his incarceration. If you are starving or a subsistense hunter, you can eat him.
the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has labeled it a “severely food-habituated” conflict bear.

Only a gov. agency could come up with such a label.
