Juneau’s Airport is a Bear-Free Zone - For Now, Anyway

Filed under: Airport, Alaska, Animals — anne @ 9:30 am

Yes, you won’t be finding any grizzlies at Juneau International at the moment - but this is not to say you shouldn’t keep a sharp eye out in the parking lot.

According to a report in the Kansas City Star, there was an “accidental discharge of anti-bear spray” at the airport that serves Alaska’s capital - and it shut down the airport for 90 minutes.

Now I’ve got some questions:

1. Why do people from Kansas care about this?
2. What’s in bear repellent - I mean, what could possibly repel them — the smell of Godzilla?
3. What was “anti-bear spray” doing at the airport?
4. Did the Governor have any comment on this?

If any of you out there can provide answers, our operators are standing by.
