SOP in bear areas is to get rid of or secure bird feeders, trash cans, dumpsters and other easy food sources around human habitations.
It is no coincidence that we see the bears around dumpsters and overflowing trash cans, they are the fast food joints of bears!
The bears are going after trash, not the kids.
My guess is that this community will not be implementing any SOPs regarding trash containment any time soon. Unfortunately. Bears will become a nuisance. They will be relocated or worse.
