It would appear that two travellers, travelling the Alaska Hwy through British Columbia have been caught feeding young grizzly bears Tim bits and Hot dogs. Amazingly enough the travelers did not get injured during these hand feeding encounters. Also Amazingly. the two travelers were caught and traced by the photos they posted online, and now face charges in Nelson BC’s Provincial Court.
It is just amazing to me that year after year people need to be reminded to not feed the wildlife. it is dangerous for you and to them. Habitualizing any animal puts it at risk of being destroyed, a soon as it looses it natural foraging routines, and that would be a shame to lose another majestic animal in our great country.
Can’t we all agree to just “Don’t Feed the Wildlife!”
