Homeowner feeds Teton Park grizzlies for years; feds decline charges

On a Friday afternoon last October, game warden Brian DeBolt and federal special agent Steve Stoinski drove to the Solitude Subdivision in response to a report of a resident feeding

What a joke.

It's concerning that this level of blatant violation can't/won't get prosecuted, because hundreds of other like-minded feeders read this article...

bet she never had to deal with burglars!

It’s weird how many people have a kink for befriending dangerous animals like bears and tigers.

“The woman later told officers she had “an aura” that both allowed her to communicate with animals and also prevented her from being hurt or attacked. But if she was attacked, she told them she was “OK” with being killed.”

She keeps collections of bear scat on cookie sheets.

gosh. CPW goes ape chit on residents whenever they catch people feeding animals.

though it makes sense, if you realize you might not be able to convict might as well put those resources elsewhere. perhaps like investigating her further?

 

[BigHornRam]

She must share some of Timothy Turdwell's genes. Nuts!

"Six weeks later, an assistant attorney at the U.S. District Court of Wyoming discussed the case with someone in the criminal division. The attorneys concluded they would have a “difficult time convicting” the Jackson Hole resident of feeding grizzlies because she stated she placed feed for moose, and not the bears. With that, the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute. Absent violations of state law, they recommended the case be closed."

I bet the attorney is her nephew or something...

Where I live they don’t do enough it seems. Feeding led to a buck following an old lady into her home and where it attacked her.

I particularly like how the operation is so large and "successful" that the G&F makes sure to fly her house when doing its winter counts.

i would say key word is "catch"

when they catch folks, they give them every ticket they can, which still isn't much.

That's what I meant, the tickets aren't very much. Talked to the game warden and he said its hard for him to spend 4 hours catching a deer feeder just to write a $170 ticket

 

[RaiderRich]

She said she was, "Okay with being killed?"

Animal lover, not living in reality, must be a transplant from San Francisco or more likely Berkeley.

Straw man. The vast majority of the work they do is not revenue-generating.

You know you can call up jehovas and mormons, order them to "your" house, just like ordering a pizza, right? Its pretty awesome.

Meanwhile down at the Fed Ex dispatch. "I don't get paid enough to deliver packages to the bear lady. I quit!"
