Feeding the Bears

Posted by on June 23, 2010 in Tison

Normally–we would be told to NOT feed the bears. But Tison got to see and help feed two black bears owed by Ron and Sharon Richards. Samson the male and Delilah the smaller female have been a part of Ron and Sharon’s family since they were very small. They live in a five acre fenced forested area and are not treated as pets. These huge bears are respected as wild animals but are cared for and nurtured by the Richards.

Tison got the chance to see these bears last night. He was amazed and even got to watch Ron feed them. Tison asked a lot of questions and helped prepare the food they would have for their meal. He loved the experience and kept talking about the bears all the way home.
