It's extremely important to remember to stay safe with wildlife. Squirrels and birds may seem harmless, but watching from a distance is always the better idea. Two men in B.C. got too close to a bear for a photo op - and ended up being charged with a crime. Cottage Life reported, "The two people involved were charged last week under B.C.’s wildlife act for the offense that allegedly took place in summer 2017." Remember that a great photo isn't worth risking your safety or the animal's!
Perhaps it was the pull of a painfully quintessential Canadian photo-op that led two people near Fort Nelson, B.C. to feed a grizzly bear a Timbit. It was, after all, only reported after photos surfaced on social media of the adolescent griz nibbling a jam-filled, powdered pastry from a man's hand. The two people involved were charged last week under B.C.'s wildlife act for the offense that allegedly took place in summer 2017.
