We recently had a case here in Oregon where a woman "loved" the bears that came onto her property and, in violation of the law, would hand feed them grapes and cantaloupe.
The bears lost their fear of humans, and began aggressively begging for food from her neighbors. One of these bears wound up breaking into a neighbors house through the dog door, and proceeded to trash the interior of the house with a broken door stuck around its neck while the lady who lived there screamed in terror. Her husband wound up having to shoot that bear in self defense.
That bear died because of the selfish woman who wanted to feed "her" bears because she "loved" them. A person who truly loves wild animals needs to show that love by leaving them alone and, when necessary, letting nature take its course.
