The trash dumpster in our community has that same latch. The bears haven’t figured it out yet, as they have several other types that have been used in the past. They are highly intelligent and I’m sure will eventually get it done.
When I lived in Gotham, the two guys on the second floor referred to themselves as “Bears”. They threw a lot of parties, and had a lot of burly friends. Never met the wives, though…
A similar species, though I suspect my fellow tenants a different genus. The Boys On The Bridge, more Ursus americana, than the big fellers in 2B, who were most certainly Ursus horribilus.

Where are the bears?

Northern Wisconsin, apparently.

Pass a law prohibiting bears from opening trash cans.

I agree.

Sounds like you also need an ordinance passed as Jonathan noted.

Like our “lion-free zones” and “no defecating zones” for deer?

In Juneau the dumpsters have a latch that unlatches upward–which bears could only do if up on the cover.

That’s about as useful a law as the one on the books prohibiting Chicago citizens from owning handguns but I don’t want to hijack this thread :)

Your neighbors?

well isn’t that specieist?

}}} Like our “lion-free zones” and “no defecating zones” for deer?
“In-Garden Consumption Free Zones” in all local neighborhoods?
I long ago arranged for a no-stupidity zone in Washington, DC.
That’s been about as effective as any gun ban.

As a Wisconsin native, I choose to believe that message is for the helmeted sort of Bear.
