Would You Do This?

NO, this is not a Photo Shopped Image. This was not a Zoo. Nor were the bears "pets". YES, this is a wild black bear. Yes, this is the scene exactly as it happened.
Despite all normal rules of how Wildlife should be handled, this woman was putting out food for the wild bears. In turn, totally wild black bears (big and small) came to eat the goodies being offered.

Where? Vince Shute in Minnesota.
