Iam sorry to have to reaport that after the articale came out lots of other reports of this bear being fed by a group of kids for a month , caused the euthenasia of the bear. It seems that the kids had been feeding him at the local school and no one knew till one kid slipped while talking to someone and so it came out. They were having a nice picnic every afternoon feeding it.
The saying a fed bear is a dead bear has been driven home to those kids.(10-12 Yr olds)
Montana has enacted a new law that if you feed bears (bird feeders ,dog food or un sealed garbage) you can be fined and if you cause one to have to be relocated or killed you pay for it. We have too many people thinking they can change the ways of animals with out consicences to them or the aanimal. Too many people moving here with no common sense.
