Maybe we should...One less bear shot if it wasn't being fed.

@Slick...that scenario is EXACTLY what I told my husband I thought happened yesterday.....

The artical said that neighbors who had moved away had fed the bear. I hope some one sends them a letter with the newspaper clipping so the realize that their actions has nearly assured their wild buddies early death.

There is no excuse for not knowing that feeding a bear is nealy a 100% death warrant for the bear.

According to her logic, no one has ever been attacked or killed by a black bear. Simply not true.

I disagree that she's nuts........I think she was demonstrating that black bears are seldom, if ever a danger to people and that is a fact......I'm sure that someone can dredge up a story about an attack somewhere on the internet but it would be very rare.
Google up "Pit Bull & Rottweiler attacks" if you want to see some carnage.....you're in more danger in a city park than you are in the woods.

Fatal black bear attacks are relatively rare, but they do happen. Check out this link and don't feed the bears.
