Scientists remind people repeatedly-DO NOT FEED BEARS! Why is this so important? Bears that are fed become comfortable being around humans, and are more likely to damage property or injure someone. When bears become comfortable around humans, they are often eventually destroyed when they are in search of food and approach a person who is frightened by the bear. They are also more likely to cause a vehicle accident, which can cause injury or death to the b ear and the humans involved. Humans can help protect bears simply by remembering not to feed them.
