Hungry bears looking for food are entering neighborhoods and are encountering dogs. The attacks on the dogs are not to eat them but a response to protect the cubs. In both situations the attacks were provoked by the dogs and it involved sows protecting cubs. I did a post on the earlier situation with some links to information so people could reduce the encounters. With the does dropping fawns right now hopefully some venison veal will help reduce these encounters as bears move on to a food source that was unaffected by the late spring freeze.
