    Even bears are doing it!

    Saw this and thought it was funny.

    I sure hope the bear hung his food to keep some nosey human out of it.

    Hmmm, the bear is under geared. No UQ, no TP, not even a tarp...I wonder how it will work out for him

    Cute but not worth encouraging IMO

    All these videos of bears and other wildlife playing on hammocks and kid's play swing sets etc that are frequently posted on YouTube and Social Media only encourage more people to bait bears in hopes of catching them on video. This irresponsible human behavior should not be encouraged in my opinion. Cute as it is, both animals and humans can get injured.

    As far as TV stations broadcasting it. Slow news day? Perhaps they don't know much about wildlife OR human psychology? Or do and ratings mean profits.
