Dubuque’s bear ordinance, passed Monday, May 5, 2025, by the Dubuque City Council, prohibits feeding or harassing bears within city limits. It includes refusing to remove attractants, like bird feeders or trash, when ordered by authorities. Violations carry a fine of up to $750 and are treated as municipal infractions. The ordinance aims to reduce bear-human conflicts after increased sightings in 2024, emphasizing public safety and wildlife health.
