We knew this post would gain traction, but we never expected this kind of literal global response! We created this post just to spread awareness about how we handle bear calls at SLTPD... The response has shocked us!
But it's time to have a talk:
Please stop calling SLTPD to give your opinions about Hank.
Our dispatchers are being inundated with these calls about Hank. It's affecting their ability to give their full attention to emergency calls.
So I can't stress this enough:
The SLTPD does not have a say in where Hank lands. Our local wildlife agencies are working together to find the best option for Hank. No one wants to see him euthanized. They are searching for an option that will be good for Hank's mental/physical health, and the safety of our local residents.

Oh my god they literally just said they have no say in what happens to Hank and to stop calling them with your opinions about him and now there are 50 comments on this post with everyone's opinion 😂 I just do not understand.

People should be jumping on the HOA board for the Keys - to require Bear Boxes and for fostering this situation.

PLEASE SAVE HANK!
The poor guy just wants something to eat. Just like everybody else. Please trap him and take to a sanctuary ❤️🐻

Hank can come live with me!
I got snacks!
After he tastes my cooking, no way he’d eat me.

The bear isn't the problem and neither is the SLTPUD. The Tahoe Keys HOA is the real problem here!

I won’t make a phone call to hinder others calling with emergencies, but please don’t euthanize this bear. There has to be another option.
