I've just heard the most hilarious story on CBC. Police got tipped off to a grow-op in BC (marijuana grow operation), but when they showed up to bust the place, they found ten or more black bears, who proceeded to snuggle up to the police cruisers. They found dog food scattered around the grow op, and suspect that the people operating the grow op "habituated" the bears to the area by leaving food out for them. There is, apparently, a criminal element who will descend on a grow op in the night, ripping off the plants, and anything else they can get their hands on. The police believe that the dog food was left out to attract the bears, in order to prevent such a rip off.
Sadly, if they stop feeding the bears, the bears will probably become a dangerous nuisance, and it will be necessary to destroy them. I'll go see if i can find a link for this story.
@Setanta,
saw the story on the news, the cops had pictures of themselves with the bears just kind of wandering around in the back ground
Bad Chai . . . no animal crackers for you.
Reyn, i just heard it, and i cracked up. I am dismayed, though, to think the bears might be destroyed.
