Bears are a nuisance in my little town of Dunmore NEPA. They are abundant. As much as they say the hunting is regulated I know for a fact that they are baited with day-old bread and donuts for most of the year and they end up being enormous. So most of the record-setting bears in my neck of the woods I have been feasting on Stale donuts for 11 months

Dunkin has to keep their number competitive with Krispy Kreme somehow, or else Tim Horton will try to push further south.

Not sure if it is the dump that attracts them, or if Moosic Mountain is just a haven of bears. I drive the Casey everyday and I have seen more dead bears laying on the side of the road than normal recently. I guess they are getting hit by vehicles throughout the night, trying to cross the highway so they can get into the towns and each garbage. I have had to call the Game Commission at least twice to report dead bears on my way to work so they could come and pick them up.

Now I see why dudes spend $1500 on those super heavy-duty brush guards on the front of their pickup -- some cheapo Walmart guard is not going to withstand the impact at 60 MPH with a 400-lb. blackie

So you’re saying that people bait them all year to get them fat and trusting? So every day, the bear comes up, gets its treats and goes on its way; then one day, it comes up, gets its treats (or not) and gets shot by the person who has been feeding it? What kind of person can basically bond with an animal like that and then kill it?

Humans are a nuisance to nature… what should we do about that? Bait them with stale donuts?

We already bait the nuisance humans with donuts --- they're called cops

Right because this world would be sooo much better without bears, wolves and cops… your ignorance is dumbfounding.
