☑ Check
Feeding wildlife is illegal & a liability. Property, children, people and pets are put at risk. Knowingly allowing a bear to consume human related foods - intentional or non-intentional - is contributing to bad bear behavior & bad bear health.
Knowing that a bear is coming to dine on YOUR property makes everyone around you at risk for an encounter, a bear break-in (vehicle/garage/home), and/or repeat visits by a bear to try & find more!
Do Not Feed Bears or any Wildlife!

Taking a pet outside? Turn on lights, Look up in the trees, look in the lot, smell (their fresh urine is strong), then bring your LEASHED pet outside WITH you. A hiking stick or Bear spray is a good idea. Be vigilant.

Feeding bears is dangerous, illegal, and often fatal for the bear, as it causes them to lose their fear of humans and seek out human food. A "fed bear is a dead bear" because food-conditioned bears become aggressive, damage property, and must often be euthanized to ensure public safety.
