Bears on the Hunt in Colorado | Denver News

Bears are flooding Colorado neighborhoods this year—over 6,000 reports already, double last year—starving from drought and late frosts that wrecked their berry and acorn buffet. They’re showing up in Aspen restaurants, on college campuses, and even trapped in unlocked cars, with tragic consequences. Officials warn: don’t feed them. Every snack you leave out turns a wild animal into a persistent threat. New laws make it easier to penalize attractants, so lock your trash, use bear-proof bins, and keep your car sealed. Your safety—and theirs—depends on it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
