California wildlife authorities are facing backlash from Lake Tahoe residents over their campaign to catch and euthanize a 500-pound black bear named Yogi who’s wreaking havoc in the area.
Per the wildlife authorities, the obese bruin — since nicknamed “Hank the Tank” — has reportedly been the source of more than 150 calls between law enforcement and wildlife personnel recently. They reported that despite efforts to dissuade it, the chonky boy caused “extensive property damage and forcefully entered several homes — including occupied homes.”
In order to mitigate Yogi’s destruction spree, the CDFW has been setting up traps to catch the blubbery beast — but to no avail.
