So much so, they can lift and slide a latch on their stable doors to gain their freedom once they've decided they've been held captive long enough. Rascals...<br /><br />From what I've seen of the black bear in my native habitat, they command much more dexterity than our hosses lips. <br /><br />Now I'm willing to be admit otherwise if given sufficient proof, but I'm of the opinion that most of the bear-proof dumpsters/latches I've seen, absent locking mechanisms requiring a key lock, combination lock, or wrenches to open are no real barrier once the bear has determined that there are grits on the other side of said barrier.<br /><br />I suppose the bear versus bear-proof whatchamathiger is the inverse of the old saying, built an idiot-proof widget and nature will evolve a more advanced idiot.bthunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789441349826379510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-58221871791543719322012-11-21T04:30:14.914-05:002012-11-21T04:30:14.914-05:00So-called bear proof.

If people don't latch them, well...<br />We were in the mountains and my buddy took the trash to the compound dumpster around the corner of the building. Approached it, and up rises a bear from within. Both of them about jumped out of their skins- fortunately for my buddy. The bear jumped out and took off, so all ended well. douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261739259295914188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-84150363182933089292012-11-20T20:17:40.832-05:002012-11-20T20:17:40.832-05:00I think the gold standard is raccoon-proof.I think the gold standard is raccoon-proof.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-74129603577817353692012-11-20T15:43:07.165-05:002012-11-20T15:43:07.165-05:00bear-proof dumpsters
