Please Don't Feed the Wild FFX County Black Bears

Oh come one, bears just want some love and a nice hand, arm, or face to chow down.


Police received reports of bear sightings in the McLean area this morning. A black bear was reported feeding at a birdfeeder around 6 a.m. in a resident’s yard in the 7800 block of Langley Ridge Road. Another bear was spotted around 9:30 a.m. a few miles away in the 6600 block of Potomac River Road, heading into Scott’s Run Nature Preserve. Earlier sightings were reported in the Oakton area on April 18.

According to Animal Control Officers and the Fairfax County Wildlife Management Specialist, it is not unusual to see black bears at this time of year and residents should not panic or feel alarmed when they see one. It is likely, that this bear has already moved through the area. Bears typically avoid humans, but in their search for food it is not uncommon to see one. Most often, bears will keep moving through an area once they fail in their attempts to find food. Unless the animal is sick or injured, or poses a threat to public safety, animal control officers do not take actions to attempt to remove bears from a neighborhood. Black bears have a natural fear of humans, and in most cases, would rather flee than encounter people.

Was it an unarmed black bear? This could be trouble with trigger happy FCPD.

Bear like cookies and honey. Give a cookie to your kid and have them feed the bear.

They do have the right to "bear arms".

This is one group of blacks that isn't likely to rob, rape and murder.
