The man fed bears, including cubs, leftover food and crackers four times
A West Vancouver man whose family's social media posts about feeding bears in their backyard prompted outrage five years ago has been fined $5,000 by a provincial court judge.
Pots of food left out for bears Three of the bear-feeding incidents involved leaving frying pans or cooking pots containing food, including pasta, out for the bears, said Cryder. In one other incident, Shevchenko fed a bear crackers next to a sliding glass door in the presence of his children, said Cryder.
"In this particular case, Mr. Shevchenko obviously meant to feed the bears," said Cryder in court Wednesday. In October 2021, Zuzana Stevikova was handed an unprecedented $60,000 fine after pleading guilty to feeding bulk produce to bears over the course of one summer. In that case, an investigation by conservation officers found the woman had been feeding black bears produce, including up to 10 cases of apples, 50 pounds of carrots and up to 15 dozen eggs weekly, throughout the summer.
Cryder said in the Whistler case, "the amount of food she was providing was huge, and the impact on the community was massive."
