They lure in wild bears with food. This is extremely dangerous and bad for both the bears and humans for several reasons:
- Bears habituated to relying on humans for food lose their wild edge and tend to struggle to survive in the wild on their own once that food source is removed.
- Bears that are fed by humans lose their fear of humans. This emboldens them to approach more populated areas and thus increases the likelihood of human/bear conflict which will likely not end well. This includes them going to campsites, businesses, homes, or even people walking on trail to demand food - even if they have to break in to get it.
- Bears that get habituated to humans become more aggressive and eventually attack humans.
- Disease is also spread more easily among these bears as they are engaging in such unnatural behaviors as congregating in large numbers.
- They are teaching and training not only the bears but their cubs that this is normal bear behavior (when it is actually the opposite) - to approach humans for food.
- They are encouraging visitors who tend to do what they see rather than what they are told. They are teaching people by example that you should walk right up to wild bears and that you should feed wild bears.
At the end of the day, if you are feeding wild bears or supporting businesses like this one, you are both endangering yourself, other people and the bears.
In most cases, this story ends with the bear being killed. Anytime a bear is frequenting populated areas and engaging in any behaviors that are deemed a possible threat to public safety, wildlife officials and in some areas, citizens, will take that bear's life.
If you truly love wildlife, nature and most especially bears, do not support this business!

他们用食物引诱野生熊。这极其危险,对熊和人类都有害,原因如下:
- 习惯于依赖人类获取食物的熊会失去野性,一旦食物来源消失,它们往往难以独自在野外生存。
- 被人类喂养的熊会失去对人类的恐惧。这会让它们更加大胆地接近人口稠密的地区,从而增加人熊冲突的可能性,而这很可能不会有好结果。例如,它们会前往营地、商店、住宅,甚至是路上行走的人索要食物——即使它们不得不破门而入。
- 习惯于人类的熊会变得更具攻击性,最终攻击人类。
- 由于这些熊会进行诸如大规模聚集等非自然行为,疾病也更容易在这些熊之间传播。
- 他们不仅教导和训练熊,还训练它们的幼崽,让它们相信接近人类获取食物是熊的正常行为(而事实恰恰相反)。
- 他们鼓励那些倾向于“眼见为实”而非“言听计从”的游客。他们以身作则,教导人们应该径直走向野生熊,应该给野生熊喂食。
归根结底,如果你喂养野生熊或支持这样的企业,你不仅会危及自己,还会危及他人和熊的安全。
在大多数情况下,这样的故事以熊被杀死而告终。每当一只熊频繁出没于人口稠密的地区,并做出任何被认为可能威胁公共安全的行为时,野生动物保护官员,甚至在某些地区,还会包括市民,都会将其处死。
如果你真的热爱野生动物、热爱自然,尤其是熊,就不要支持这种企业!
