"A recent visitor at the site said she saw dozens of people taking selfies with the bears, who were unafraid of the group."

And that's the most troubling part of this story. A few idiots getting themselves mauled taking a vanity pic with a wild animal is no skin off my nose. But bears acclimated to humans as a result is a real problem. They're more likely to intrude on inhabited areas, or approach tourists/visitors with food, etc. No good can come from that.

Bear rugs are a good thing.
