Gripping video. He pushes that dumpster around like it’s just his shopping cart.

Edelweiss manager Dieter Schnakenberg said it takes two of his employees to move the container.

Good grief! The dumpster's on wheels. Who's he got working for him - a couple of tiny mexicans?

Is there really a need to make light of a homeless bear’s misfortunes?

How peculiar.....Several years ago, a friend and I wen to Colorado to do a little gold mining. we camped out on the claim, and of course when camping you do generate some trash. We kept it all in a plastic trash bag, and when we went to leave, we were just going to put it in a dumpster somewhere.

Well, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! We found out that Colorado has a state law that says all dumpsters have to be PADLOCKED shut, to keep the bears out. We ended up having to bring our trash all the way back to Kansas to find an open dumpster to throw it in.

So, I guess this bear is not only smart enough to make off with the dumpster with the goodies in it, he must also know how to PICK A LOCK in order to get any scraps out of it.

The restaurant now has "tack boards" -- basically plywood with nails sticking out -- along the edge of the dumpster to deter bears. The strips were used at the suggestion of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which provided them to the restaurant.

The same suggestion was published in our local paper after a bear and her two cubs broke into a house. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

True story ...

In the 1930s I watched the Yosemite Bear feeding program.

Slightly down river from the Park, cars and people would gather on the North side of river while bears assembled on the South side.

The Park garbage trucks dumped their daily collections on that South side.
