These grizzly bears in Larson Bay, Alaska, discovered that the dump is a source of easy meals. Local people often stop in to watch the bears forage in trash. Situations like this can lead to problems — once bears become unafraid of people, they can wonder into town looking for food and are often shot as a result.
