Good advice. No winners on that one, and the only cure is to keep the dog food where the bears aren't attracted to it. In Juneau, bird feeders were illegal in certain parts of town because the bears would head right for them. Once they get hooked, they're compromised and shortly after they're gone.

I've thought of that. Another thing to consider is that the racoons and foxes show up every night and eat the cat's food. It's been going on for years! Feeding my pets is not the problem - developers destroying their habitat is. All these critters have been here forever, and were perfectly happy surviving on what nature provided for them. I remember the way it used to be and believe me, these animals are not showing up in our back yards because they like being around people. I don't even look at their presence as BEING a problem! Anybody that does needs to be living in a city or a subdivision, not out in the country. I'm not by any means some kind of tree hugger but, given the choice of having people or animals for neighbors, I'll take the latter.
