I agree this bear situation is out of control I am a repeat visitor since my dad brought us there in the 60s it’s both the businesses fault for not securing their trash and tourists who are only thinking of that selfie with a Bear

Fine them! It’s not fair to our bears! Employees of these establishments should know better than leave the door open! We have bears hungry and unfortunately now depending on humans! Why on earth would you even think it was ok? Visitors should be required to take a class showcasing what happens to our bears if they interact with them - death! Maybe they won’t be so quick to feed them if they understand this concept!
