Bill likes to use WORD PICTURES to drive home an important point -- like his story about the BEARS,
who become dependent on eating garbage, because it is easier.
We now have to reintroduce them to the personal satisfaction that they will enjoy
by WORKING (a little) -- to get much better food.

A Lesson in Irony – Take the Food Stamp program
By Harvey Miller
November 23, 2012

This year the Food Stamp Program (SNAP) administered by the U.S.Department of Agriculture is proud
to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever – to 47 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior asks us
"Please Do Not Feed the Animals" because animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn
to take care of themselves...

Animals that are fed by people become dependent on human food, and may lose their
natural fear of humans and their ability to forage for natural foods. There is a lot of truth to
the saying, "a fed animal is a dead animal." In addition to losing their foraging ability,
animals that have been fed are less likely to survive other reasons. Animals that have been
fed from cars congregate near roadways and are at a high risk of being killed by vehicle collisions.

In recent years, the National Park Service has had to euthanize deer, coyotes, rock squirrels
and other animals at Grand Canyon that had become overly aggressive towards humans
and/or had become completely dependent on food handouts. Park rangers work to
preserve and protect park resources, including wildlife. NPS staff find it heartbreaking
when they are forced to euthanize animals whose aggressive behaviors were caused by
being fed by well-meaning people. [NPS.gov]
