The saddest part is that they put the animals that they love in danger. :(

yeah, feeding wildlife like you feed the pigeons or ducks at the park will only end in bad results for the wildlife. I hope that they snag the mom and cubs and relocate them. Bringing such young cubs out in the day where all those humans are is a bad bad bad idea

Snag the PEOPLE and relocate them.

Bears will return only to be put down CO is a 2 strike state.

I like that idea, but the humans will only come back as well. The bears have not attacked, so they should be OK for now

We were sitting in the living room, watching the Tour de France (recorded) last night around 8 or so and a yearling bear came ambling by on our back hillside. He turned over a rock and started licking - must be ants. It has to be really hard for a bear to find food - enough to sustain it (I heard something like 16,000 calories/day) how many calories can be in an ant?

How cute! Did you get any pics or was it too dark?

to totally derail the topic, I went looking for the number of calories in ants just because - and I found this: http://www.manataka.org/page160.html - on eating bugs and recipes. A chocolate covered ant has 248 calories, but I bet most 9of that is from the chocolate.

And now you know.

gee, local_historian, that sounds like something I would do... look that stuff up - are we both nuts? or are we both BRILLIANT? :wink:

and no pics, SG, it was one of those moments that I consciously decided to just enjoy and not run for the camera. Against my nature to do that, but I gave it a shot.
