Grizzly Bears:

Yellowstone National Park has one of the last remaining populations of grizzly. They have been protected here since 1886
Bears gradually became dependent on humans for food. Harsh winters that killed the game they fed on made them seek other means.
Biscuits, steak scraps, fudge, and ice cream they adapted well to human food.
Begging at the roadside, tourists jammed the roadways to feed them. People were injured and consequently, some bears had to be killed each year.
A remedy had to be found. Rangers closed the garbage dumps and taught campers how to store food safely.
These regulations were strictly enforced.
While difficult at first, the grizzly is once again wild and self-sustaining.
