Influencer Marni Elizabeth Stockhausen has baited bears into her back yard for years and thinks it's cute. One commenter noted that a fed bear is a dead bear, to which her reply is, "awww."
Marni Elizabeth lives in a family area, which includes two young children in the unit attached to her own. She's fed the bears and talked about being hopeful they'll come back on multiple occasions through the years. The only thing she's consistent at is not considering anyone but herself; that's not a surprise considering her other habit of taking selfies on the highway.
Feeding bears is dangerous because it causes them to lose their natural fear of humans, a process known as habituation. When bears associate people with easy meals, they become "nuisance animals" that are much more likely to be euthanized for public safety.
