B.C. man uses motion-activated zombie to scare bears away from garbage

A B.C. man has devised an innovative way to deter bears from raiding garbage bins by installing a motion-activated zombie prop that scares the animals away. This comes amid a troubling trend where over 33 bears have been killed by conservation officers this year, including two that breached store security in Hope and Squamish. This creative approach highlights the ongoing challenge communities face in balancing wildlife protection with public safety, suggesting that sometimes unconventional methods can yield effective results.
