The problem with using dogs to guard property is that they’re nowhere

The problem with using dogs to guard property is that they’re nowhere near as badass as bears. Allen Wayne Piche knew this well, and until last summer he had about 10 adult black bears “guarding” his marijuana farm near Christina Lake, B.C. Of course, even bears couldn’t protect Piche’s pot plot from mounties who raided it (actually, the bears were so lazy and fat from eating dog food for months that they really didn’t care about the cops who wandered in). But now that the weed farm is gone and Piche is no longer around to feed the animals, the B.C Minister of Environment says that unless bruins wake up from their hibernation and go back to being normal foraging wild beasts, they’ll all be killed.Here are some mounties posing with the (probably doomed) bear guards.QMI reports that authorities are waiting for the time the bears finally emerge from their dens, and will be watching their behavior closely. If the bears show up back at the Christina Lake farm or try to interact with humans, they’ll be euthanized.”The conservation officers will be paying very close attention to making sure the individual is not feeding them and monitoring the bears to see if they are posing a danger,” [B.C Minister of Environment Terry Lake] said.When the bears were found last summer, they were docile and lazy. The BBC reported at the time:”They were tame, they just sat around watching [the raid]. At one point one of the bears climbed onto the hood of a police car, sat there for a bit and then jumped off,” said Royal Canadian Mounted Police sergeant Fred Mansveld.Piche, meanwhile, still has a photo on his Facebook page of himself smiling while lounging out with his old bear buddies. Something suggests that if the bears knew that hanging out with Piche might eventually get them killed, they wouldn’t look so content. Follow The Daily Weekly on Facebook and Twitter.
