In Adirondack news today.....

A young bear had been hanging out around Limekiln. Someone started feeding it. The bear continued to show up to be fed (one of the many reasons they say a fed bear is a dead bear) and it became a nuisance. Then the bear was shot by the DEC because they can't risk a wild animal hurting a human.

ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.

How many more animals must die before we stop feeding the wildlife??

No need to leave comments about how we're in their habitat, we've been in their habitat for over 100 years. Towns are not going to close down.

No need to blame anyone but the people who refuse to abide by the DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE rules.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. DO NOT FEED ANY ANIMALS YOU DID NOT BRING WITH YOU! PERIOD.
