ELIZABETH WARREN CALLS ISRAEL’S ACTIONS GENOCIDE.

THE LATEST RESULTS FROM THE NEW COMMONWEALTH BEACON POLE.

AND HOW THE WAR IS AFFECTING HOW A PAIR OF LOCAL DEMOCRATS PLAN TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER.

OPENING DAY AT FENWAY PARK.

THE SCENES FROM THE FIRST RED SOX HOME GAME OF THE SEASON.

IT IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST REBUKES WE HAVE HEARD FROM AN AMERICAN POLITICAL LEADER.

HERE IS SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS ABOUT ISRAEL’S TACTICS AT A MOSQUE IN WAYLAND.

SEN. WARREN: IT IS AN APPLICATION OF LAW THAT IS DEFINED AS GENOCIDE.

THEY HAVE AMPLE EVIDENCE TO DO SO.

>> WE TALK NOW ABOUT WHAT ELSE BOREN HAD TO SAY AND A BREAKDOWN OF THE NEW WGBH POLLING ABOUT HOW MASS RESIDENTS FEEL ABOUT THE CONFLICT.

LET’S START WITH THE POLL.

DO PEOPLE IN MASSACHUSETTS SUPPORT OR OPPOSE IT+ >> WE SAW A MIXED RESULT OF THE PEOPLE THAT POLLSTERS SPOKE TO DURING THAT PERIOD.

40% SAID THAT THEY ARE OPPOSED.

34% SUPPORT THEM AND 26% DID NOT KNOW.

THAT IS WITHIN STRONGLY OPPOSE OR SLIGHTLY OPPOSE.

I THINK 19% SAID THAT THEY STRONGLY OPPOSE.

ADAM: ANY INTERESTING BREAKDOWNS DEMOGRAPHICALLY?

>> IN THE THREE QUESTIONS I LOOKED AT I SAW SIMILAR SENTIMENT BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO HAD HIGHLY EDUCATED, A COLLEGE DEGREE OR ADVANCED DEGREE.

PEOPLE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR LESS MORE ON THE SAME PAGE.

ACROSS THE BOARD, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE POLLS AND WE CONTINUE TO DO MORE POLLING AS THESE TRENDS SHIFT, I LOOKED UP THE GALLUP POLLS.

I THINK THEY WERE SHOWING A 36% APPROVAL RATE FOR ISRAEL WHICH IS SIMILAR TO OUR LANGUAGE.

WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT A CEASE-FIRE BUT APPROVAL OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT’S ACTIONS.

ADAM: A NOTABLE SHIFT.

WE DID ASK HOW THE U.S. SHOULD RESPOND.

WHAT DO PEOPLE WANT TO SEE US DOING+ >> 47% SAID THEY WOULD LIKE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO INTERVENE AND PUSH FOR AN IMMEDIATE END TO THE WAR.

ADAM: THAT IS A STRIKING FINDING TO MY EYES.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HOW CLOSELY THEY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS?

IT IS ONE OF THE TOP STORIES IN THE NEWS.

EVERY DAY.

.

>> THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE PAYING SOME ATTENTION.

MOST PEOPLE SAID THEY ARE PAYING VERY CLOSE ATTENTION WHICH REFLECTS A SHIFT IN TERMS OF, I WOULD THINK THAT AT THIS POINT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A LITTLE FATIGUE WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE.

IT IS SOMETHING WE’VE SEEN WITH A LOT OF CONFLICT AND TRAGEDY ACROSS THE WORLD.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE SEEING THESE HORRIFIC IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

IT IS CAUSING THEM TO GET INVOLVED.

I SPOKE TO ELLIE GERDES ON WHO SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR NINE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER MADE A CALL TO THE REPRESENTATIVES BEFORE, WHO HAVE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF POLITICAL ACTIVISM, PEOPLE FROM ALL ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF HUMANKIND WHO WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

ADAM: I’M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN IT COMES TO DISSEMINATING IMAGES THAT SHAPE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK IS A FASCINATING PLAN.

YOU TALKED WITH JONATHAN FROM BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY.

HE ARGUED TO YOU THAT THE WAY THAT THESE QUESTIONS ARE FRAMED CAN HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON HOW PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY FEEL.

WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?

>> ADVOCATES FOR THE PRO-PALESTINIAN ADVOCATES, IF YOU HAD SAID THE WORD CEASE-FIRE, IT WOULD BE THIS WAY.

HE IS SAYING IF YOU HAD LANGUAGE ABOUT HOSTAGES, THE MORE THAN 100 HOSTAGES BEING HELD BY HAMAS, PEOPLE WOULD REMEMBER THAT.

HE BELIEVES THAT SIX MONTHS OUT PEOPLE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT HOSTAGES AS MORE.

HE PAYS ATTENTION TO ISRAELI AND AMERICAN MEDIA.

HE SAYS THAT IN ISRAEL THERE IS MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HOSTAGES AND THEY ARE TOP OF MIND.

THIS FEELING THAT IT COULD BE YOUR KID.

THAT IS A JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT HAS SHIFTED PERSPECTIVES.

>> I’M NOT SOMEONE WHO TRACKS THIS ON A DAILY BASIS.

MY SENSE IS THAT FAMILIES OF THE HOSTAGES HAVE BEEN CRITICAL.

>> THAT IS NOT A SENSE.

IN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE SEEN PROTESTS IN TEL AVIV WHERE TENS OF THOUSANDS HAVE COME OUT INCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE HOSTAGES AND HAVE CALLED ON BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TO STEP DOWN AND ARE IN OPPOSITION OF THE WAY HIS GOVERNMENT HAS HANDLED THIS.

MANY RELATED TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY HOSTAGES WHO BELIEVE THAT THE HOSTAGES ARE IN DANGER FROM THE WAY THE MILITARY IS FOCUSED -- ELIMINATING HAMAS WHICH THEY SIT IS SHELTERED IN INFRASTRUCTURE SO YOU GO AFTER THE WHOLE THING.

>> ACCORDING TO THE HEALTH MINISTER IT IS A 40,000 DEATH TOLL FOR CIVILIANS WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT.

>> THERE DOES SEEM TO BE AN ONGOING SHIFT THE WAY THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CONFLICT.

YOU GOT A HOLD OF THIS VIDEO IN WHICH WARREN SPOKE IN WAYLAND.

>> TO ME IT IS FOR -- FAR MORE IMPORTANT.

ISRAEL, IT IS WRONG TO STARVE CHILDREN WITHIN A CIVILIAN POPULATION TO BEND THEM TO YOUR WILL.

IT IS WRONG TO DROP 2000 POUND BOMBS IN DENSELY POPULATED CIVILIAN AREAS.

I THINK I CAN MAKE A MORE EFFECTIVE ARGUMENT BY DESCRIBING THE BEHAVIOR THAT IS HAPPENING AND WHETHER I BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT OR WRONG.

IT SHOULD BE IN THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NOT TO SUPPORT THOSE ACTIONS.

>> THOSE ARE NOT NEW CRITICISMS FROM SENATOR WARREN.

I’M WONDERING HOW THE CROWD IN THE VIDEO THAT YOU HAVE HOLD OF, HOW DO THEY RESPOND TO WARREN SAYING THIS SEEMS LIKE IT QUALIFIES AS GENOCIDE, BUT IT IS REALLY NOT A TERM I WANT TO GET FOCUSED ON USING.

I’M PARAPHRASING.

DO THEY FEEL LIKE SHE WAS BACKING AWAY FROM AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF TERMINOLOGY?

>> WE HAVE REVERSE THE ORDER OF HER COMMENTS WHICH MAKES SENSE FOR THE SEGMENT BUT SHE SAID THAT PART FIRST AND AFTERWARD PEOPLE SAID YOU DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IT IS YES OR NO, DO YOU THINK IT IS GENOCIDE?

SHE ANSWERED AND COUCHED IT BY SAYING DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A LEGAL ARGUMENT?

THEY WILL FIND AMPLE EVIDENCE TO FIND THAT IT IS GENOCIDE.

SHE IS TALKING ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE WHICH IN JANUARY SAID THAT THEY HAD PLAUSIBLE EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST IT IS GENOCIDE.

HE WAS SAYING THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE WILL FIND AMPLE EVIDENCE TO SAY THAT IT IS GENOCIDE.

>> IT WAS NOT QUITE A FULL THROATED -- >> ONCE SHE SAID WERE GENOCIDE AND SAID HE WILL FIND AMPLE EVIDENCE, THE CROWD WAS ROCKETS.

-- RAUCOUS.

IT IS A NATIONAL PUSH FOR POLITICIANS TO BE ON THE SAME STAGE AS THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF RHETORIC.

SHE IS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM LABELS AND ARGUMENT WHICH SHE THINGS CAN PUT UP A BARRIER.

HOW DO WE ALL WORK TOGETHER ACROSS THE AISLE.

SAYING YOU CANNOT FENCE IT ON CERTAIN THINGS, SO YOU NEED TO COME OUT ON GENOCIDE.

THEY WERE HAPPY TO HEAR HER SAY THAT.

ADAM: IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT SHE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION HAVE TO SAY.

LLOYD AUSTIN SAID JUST TODAY HE DID NOT SEE EVIDENCE THAT GENOCIDE WAS OCCURRING.

>> IS ISRAEL COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA?

>> SENATOR COTTON, WE DON’T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE OF GENOCIDE.

>> SO ISRAEL IS NOT COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA?

>> WE DON’T HAVE EVIDENCE FOR THAT.

ADAM: WHAT ARE SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT MAY BE HELPING TO RAMP UP SKEPTICISM AMONG MASSACHUSETTS VOTERS AND UNITED STATES VOTERS MORE BROADLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE UNITED STATES CONDUCT?

>> WE SAW LAST WEEK THAT IS REALLY AIRSTRIKES KILLED SEVEN WORLD KITCHEN EMPLOYEES.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST SUPPLIERS OF FOOD TO PEOPLE IN GAZA.

WE SAW THESE BIG NUMBERS OF 30,000 CIVILIAN DEATHS.

TO SEE IF THEY’RE PULLING AID OUT.

ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS -- THEY FELT THEY HAD THE ORGANIZATION TO DO THIS HUMANITARIAN ACT.

IT CREATES THIS ON DICHOTOMY WHERE YOU ARE SUPPORTING A CEASE-FIRE WHILE SUPPORTING AN $18 BILLION ARMS BILL.

ADAM: THAT IS AN ODD DICHOTOMY.

IT SEEMED THAT WORLD KITCHEN ATTACK SEEMED TO ANIMATE PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE WAY WE HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE.

YOUR POINT IS AN EXCELLENT ONE.

NUMBERS AS BIG AND HORRIBLE AS THEY CAN BE, YOU CAN BECOME INURED TO THEM.

>> HE CALLED FOR A CEASE-FIRE BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE HAS NOT STOPPED PUSHING CONGRESS TO APPROVE THIS BILL FOR 15 FIGHTER JETS AND MUNITIONS AND MILITARY AID AND TRAINING.

40 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE HAVE WRITTEN HIM A LETTER.

IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT SHE SHOULD BREAK WITH HIM.

ADAM: COLLEGE STUDENTS IN BOSTON MET TO TALK ABOUT BIDEN’S CANDIDACY IN THE LATEST EDITION OF POLITICS IN REAL LIFE.

>> IF YOU KNOW THE CANDIDATES ARE NOT GOING TO WIN, WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR THEM?

>> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRY TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WILL BE VOTING IN A GENERAL ELECTION, AND I AM NOT EXCITED TO BE CASTING MY VOTE.

I’M STILL VOTING FOR BIDEN BECAUSE HE WILL NOT MOVE US BACKWARDS.

I THINK THAT HE CAN BEAT DONALD TRUMP AND I DO NOT WANT TO FATHOM ANOTHER FOUR YEARS UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION WHERE HE HAS PLEDGED TO DO SO MANY DESPICABLE AND EVIL THINGS.

THERE IS THIS IDEA THAT A VOTE FOR DOAK -- JOE BIDEN IS A VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY, BUT WE DON’T REALLY LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY.

IF THAT IS HOW OUR OPTIONS ARE PRESENTED.

I MAY HAVE TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING BECAUSE I CANNOT VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN.

KNOWING THE THINGS THAT I KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PALESTINE.

>> BEFORE OCTOBER 7 WHEN THE ISRAEL AND PALESTINE CONFLICT CAME TO LIGHT, HAD HE LOST YOUR VOTE BEFORE THEN?

>> I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM ON ENTHUSIASTICALLY.

I THINK THAT HIS RESPONSE TO IT IS VERY TELLING ABOUT WHERE HIS PRIORITIES ARE.

CLEARLY NOT WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY IN AMERICA.

THEY ARE WITHOUT HEALTH CARE AND WITHOUT HOUSING.

WE CONTINUE TO SEND ALL OF THIS AID AND BYPASS CONGRESS.

HE TOTALLY LOST MY VOTE WITH OF THAT.

>> I HAVE BECOME MORE DISCOURAGED WITH HIS HANDLING OF IT THE MORE THAT I READ.

IT IS A VERY OVERWHELMING TOPIC.

IT IS GETTING MORE DISHEARTENING.

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DISTANCE MYSELF FROM NOT VOTING FOR HIM, JUST BECAUSE -- I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE THE TWO PARTIES THAT GET ANYWHERE.

>> I HEAR THIS ARGUMENT ABOUT THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS PRETTY CONSISTENTLY.

I DON’T FEEL THAT IS ALWAYS A VALID LENS THROUGH WHICH WE SHOULD BE VIEWING OUR POLITICS.

THE CHOICE TO DIVEST FROM THE TWO PARTIES IS LONG OVERDUE.

I DON’T KNOW WHEN THE OPPORTUNE TIME WOULD BE IF NOT NOW.

>> IF YOU KNOW THE CANDIDATES ARE NOT GOING TO WIN, WHY ARE YOU STILL VOTING FOR THEM?

>> BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRY TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE IN A WAY THAT ALIGNS WITH MY VALUES MOST.

IT DOES TAKE SOME BRAVERY OR DISCOMFORT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.

AT THIS POINT, WE’RE AN EMPIRE IN DECLINE.

WE HAVE TO PIVOT.

>> IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO SEE BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY GO DOWNHILL.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN HIM FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> AS I GOT OLDER I GOT MORE DISAPPOINTED.

I AM VOTING FOR HIM BUT IT ISN’T SOMETHING I’M EXCITED TO DO.

>> I THINK THAT IT WENT REALLY WELL.

IT WAS FULFILLING TO HEAR ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE.

I AM STILL VOTING THE SAME WAY THAT I WAS PLANNING TO.

I THINK THIS TAUGHT ME ABOUT THE SO ARE THE RED SOX WHO ARE BACK AT FENWAY FOR THEIR HOME OPENER.

GBH’S NEWS’ CRAIG JOINS US NOW.

WHAT IS THE VIBE AT FENWAY PARK?

CRAIG: IT IS BASICALLY JUBILATION.

OPENING DAY IS A BIG DEAL IN BOSTON.

THIS IS A BIG DAY AND IT MEANS A LOT TO CELEBRATE EVERYTHING.

ADAM: I GREW UP IN MINNESOTA AS A TWINS FAN.

I HAVE NEVER KICKED THAT HABIT.

THE PRESSURE -- IMPRESSION THAT I HAVE IS PEOPLE WERE DOWN ON THE RED SOX LAST YEAR.

AND IN RECENT YEARS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOT TO CHEER ABOUT.

IS THERE OPTIMISM OR IS IT LIKE THEY WILL BE BAD?

CRAIG: WE ARE COMING OFF TWO LAST FINISHES IN THE AL EAST.

EVERYBODY WAS DOWN BEFORE.

I AM HEARING A LOT OF OPTIMISM NOW.

THERE WAS A WAY STAND BEFORE THIS HOME OPENER AND THEY WON SEVEN OF 10 GAMES.

I AM HEARING A LOT OF OPTIMISM FROM THE FANS.

>> WORLD SERIES WERE BUST.

GOOD ROSTER, GOOD MANAGEMENT, GOOD EVERYTHING.

THE FANS DESERVE IT.

>> ARE STARTING PITCHING IS DOING WELL.

>> START IS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

FINGERS CROSSED.

HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN LAST YEAR.

ADAM: WE HEARD SOMEONE IN AN EARLIER CLIP MENTION TIM WAKEFIELD.

THE LATE TIM WAKEFIELD.

THERE IS A CEREMONY HONORING THE BREAK OF THE DROUGHT IN 2004.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT TODAY?

CRAIG: THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY AS THE GAME KICKED OFF.

THE RED SOX WINNING THE 2000 FOUR SERIES IN SPECTACULAR FASHION BEING THREE GAMES BEHIND IN THE ALCS AND COMING BACK FROM BEHIND TO THEN SWEEP THE WORLD SERIES.

ALSO SOME SADNESS.

TIM WAKEFIELD, THE PICTURE FOR THE 2014 KNUCKLEBALLER, HE PASSED AWAY IN OCTOBER.

LARRY AQUINO ALSO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY.

THEY WERE BOTH REMEMBERED IN A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY THIS MORNING IN A LONG VIDEO MONTAGE.

THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF DON MCLEAN’S AMERICAN PIE.

IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL THING TO REMEMBER THAT TEAM MEANT TO HONOR THOSE IMPORTANT PLAYERS.

ADAM: BEFORE WE WRAP UP, IS THERE A SECRET TO YOU GETTING THIS EXCELLENT ASSIGNMENT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY TO HANG OUT AT FENWAY PARK?

IF THERE IS A SECRET, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT IT IS.

CRAIG: I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE TO STICK AROUND LONG ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE BEEN HERE LONGER THAN I.

IT IS NOT THE WORST ASSIGNMENT I HAVE HAD.

I WILL TRY TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE GAME.

ADAM: I’M GLAD YOU WILL DO THAT.

I USED TO WORK AROUND THE CORNER WHEN I WORKED AT THE BOSTON PHOENIX.

SEEING YOU THERE IS MAKING ME NOSTALGIC.

GOOD TO TALK TO YOU, ENJOY.

CRAIG: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ADAM: THAT IS IT FOR TONIGHT.

COME BACK TOMORROW.

CRAIG WILL BE BACK IN THE HOT SEAT.

HE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE DANGER FOR THE WHITE WHALE.

.

AND WHAT DOES SOCIAL MEDIA MEAN FOR WOMEN?

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

I AM ADAM REILLY.

GOOD NIGHT.

♪ ♪ >> IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT SHOCKING TO SEE A BEAR CLIMBING AROUND A TREE.

THAT BEAR IS RIGHT HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS.

IT IS THE PERFECT TIME TO BRUSH UP ON OUR BEAR SAFETY BEST PRACTICES.

THE AMERICAN BLACK BEAR HAS CALLED NEW ENGLAND HOME FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.

BY THE 1970’S EXPERTS HAD THEIR NUMBERS AT LESS THAN 100 AND MASSACHUSETTS.

NOW THERE ARE 4000 TO 5000.

IN MARCH AND APRIL THEY HAVE THE SAME THING ON THEIR MINDS.

>> THEY ARE DRIVEN TO FIND FOOD.

THEY HAVE NOT EATEN IN FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS.

>> IN EARLY SPRING THE BEST OFFERING IS SKUNK CABBAGE.

AS THEY PUSH INTO MORE POPULATED PLACES THEY ARE INCREASINGLY FINDING ALTERNATIVES IN THE HUMAN BACKYARD.

>> OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE I SAW MOVEMENT AND I LOOKED HERE AND REALIZED THERE WAS A GIANT BEAR IN THE TREE.

WE HAVE SEEN THEM IN THE AREA BEFORE BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME OPENLY IN THE YARD.

TO LEARN WHY SHE MIGHT’VE BEEN ATTRACTIVE TO BEARS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO AVOID A BEAR VISIT.

>> HABITAT CONFIGURATIONS LIKE THIS ARE VERY COMMON.

THERE IS A WETLAND AND A FORESTED AREA ACROSS THE STREET.

THOSE ARE NATURAL HABITATS FOR THE BEARS.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO LEARN WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO COEXIST WITH BEARS.

>> THE HUMBLE BIRDFEEDER.

>> THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BIRDFEEDER, IT IS A WILDLIFE EATER.

>> THE HUMBLE WILDLIFE EATER.

>> THOUSANDS OF CALORIES.

I HAVE HEARD ESTIMATES THAT IT IS LIKE FOUR CHEESE PIZZA’S WORTH OF FOOD.

THERE IS THAT BIRDFEEDER, GO THREE HOUSES DOWN AND THERE IS ANOTHER ONE.

WHEN THE BIRD EMPTIES IT SOMEONE REFILLS IT.

>> THEY MUST HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF SMELL.

I CAN’T SPELL ANYTHING.

A SMELL THAT I MIGHT NOT EVEN MISS IS A BACKYARD BARBECUE AND BEARS CAN DETECT IT EVEN AFTER IT IS OVER.

GREASE TRACKS AND DIRTY GRILLS CAN BRING THE BEARS.

>> CLEAN UP THE SOURCES OF FOOD.

>> THE PARTY IN THE BACKYARD WHEN EVERYBODY WAS EATING AT YOU SAY WE WILL GET IT TOMORROW?

>> YOU MIGHT HAVE A VISITOR.

>> BACKYARD BARBECUES HAVE BEEN PROVIDING BEARS WITH ANOTHER PLACE TO GO LOOKING FOR A MEAL.

>> THEY CAN JUST CRACK INTO IT LIKE AN EGG.

WE ARE ENCOURAGING THEM TO USE ELECTRIC FENCING.

>> YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP THE BEEHIVES BEHIND THE ELECTRIC FENCE.

>> BEARS MIGHT GET INTO YOUR COMPOST PILE BUT IT IS NOT A FAVORITE.

MORE ATTRACTIVE ARE TASTY BAGS OF TRASH.

>> A PLUS FOR THIS?

>> THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE.

THE BEARS CANNOT ACCESS IT.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO PUT IT OUT THE MORNING OF TRASH PICKUP.

SO IT IS NOT OVERNIGHT.

>> ALL OF THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY.

>> IF BEARS LEARN TO FIND FOOD AROUND THEIR HOMES THAT OFTEN ENDS UP BADLY.

PEOPLE SAY I DON’T MIND HAVING THE BEAR IN MY YARD OR AT THE BIRDFEEDER.

THAT SAME BEAR GOES ACROSS TOWN AND BREAKS INTO A CHICKEN COOP AND THE PERSON SHOOTS IT.

>> DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS OF BEAR ENCOUNTER IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.

THEY ARE NOT NATURALLY AGGRESSIVE TOWARD HUMANS.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THEY ARE A AND POWERFUL ANIMAL.

YOU WANT TO RESPECT THAT.

YOU DON’T WANT TO GET CLOSER TO GET A BETTER PICTURE.

>> I WAS DEFINITELY HAVING A CONVERSATION THROUGH THE GLASS.

>> ALONG THE LINES OF GOOD MORNING, I HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR BREAKFAST.

>> DO YOU HOPE THAT HE COMES BACK?

>>
