Black bear are posing a risk to property and potentially to health and safety of the residents and visitors of Sierra County. It is the purpose of this chapter to control and reduce those factors which cause dangerous inducements for black bear to forage in and around the populated, unincorporated residential areas of the county. Further, it is intended to reduce risk to residents from potential use of firearms in connection with bear encounters. It is not the purpose of this chapter to interfere with those matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Game. (Ord. 756, eff. 3/8/90)
