Sounds like this Karen Noyes and Lynn Rogers are trying to become bear food as Tim Treadwell and his girlfriend did.

Karen Noyes of Yachats feeds a black bear some grapes.
Noyes is on trial in Newport, charged with harassing
wildlife and endangering other people.

I live in southern Oregon, and I am doing my best
not to feed bears.
We have bears living on the mountain behind us, and I wait until midnight before the 4 A.M. garbage collection to put any food refuse in the garbage can. Feeding bears turns an animal you can probably live with into a problem bear.

I imagine her neighbors are beside themselves. I lived in a rural area of southern OR and if any of my neighbors had done this I’d have had Fish and Game there in a hurry.

She sure is. Everyone knows bears love pic-a-nic baskets.

Bears eat alot. how do these idiots justify spending that much money on bear food to feed that many bears? If they are all getting fresh produce like in that pic, the grocery bill has got to rival a house payment.

LOL!
I’d bet she’s crazy enough to think they would starve if she didn’t feed them

Well, if there’s 25 of them living within a leisurely stroll of her house, she’d probably be right. 25 bears in one neighborhood just isn’t natural.

“One summer, she said she fed as many as 25 of the animals on a regular basis.
“Right now, I’ve got a half a dozen,” she said. “They are perfectly safe. They are timid and really sweet.”
Yeah and I bet they think she tastes like chicken. Why can’t she get better hobby like raising 50 cats in her house. What a loon.

OMG! Ha she never seen the National Geographic show about the guy who lived with them and eventually was eaten by the bears? Now that the bears know where the food no one is safe in that neighborhood.

She’s certifiable. Saw the video on that, still don’t know how she survived.

Noyes, 61, said she started feeding the bears several years ago when a large one showed up as she fed the birds. "It scared me. Then I thought 'why should I feed them and not him?'" Uh, how about because bears can rip your head off, and little birdies can't?
(...just a thought...)

"Karen is a moron"And proud of it, apparently!
If I was the neighbor, I'd be suing her for the lost turkeys too.

Bears eat alot. how do these idiots justify spending that much money on bear food to feed that many bears? And at the end of subsidizing the bears do you have fewer bears or more bears? ---- this idiot woman is clearly a socialist.
