There’s some nutjob around Lake Tahoe putting up flyers telling people to feed bears

Experts say these flyers aren't just full of misinformation -- they could cause long-term damage to the Tahoe bear population.

@SwiftOnSecurity as a furry you should support this deviation from th norm

@SwiftOnSecurity Skmming the flyer, 95% sure this is written by someone who hates environmentalists and tree-huggers and is running a Joe-job

It's virtually certain to my eyes.

@SwiftOnSecurity But I want to feed a bear. I want the bear to eat the deer that keeps eating all the leaves off my poor little oak tree.

@SwiftOnSecurity Note: there's a bear siting around here about every 15 years and people go oh there's bears still around 😂

@SwiftOnSecurity The police sketch of the perpetrators

Because my brain works differently...

"Tira says feeding bears human food ultimately causes harm to both the animals and people.

"They look for it, become addicted to it, become dependent on it, and their behavior changes. It gets more brazen. We see it escalate," Tira said."

If it can mess with bears like that, what is it doing to us?

Also the idiot behind the signs should be fed to the bears.

@SwiftOnSecurity I'd be more concerned that bears have learned to type and print.
