You would think the combination of there being a fence and bears would clue people in that they shouldn't touch. People were super lucky mama bear wasn't close enough to get involved.

Reminds me of all those videos of idiot parents having their terrified children pose with wild animals or have them sit on top of them.
Complete morons.

Alcohol covers a surprising percentage of it-- both the "I'm too drunk to realize that this plan is stupid" and "hold my beer!" varieties.

Modern media/entertainment/social media also play a role, but aside from challenges and attempts to get selfies in dangerous/stupid situations, this is nothing new (there is a reason why "Don't try this at home" is now a major phrase and meme.)

What's even worse is they dropped the bear on the wrong side of the fence, so it couldn't even make it back.

Sadly, mama bear is lucky she wasnt close enough to get involved, because she probably woulda been found and put down due to her danger to humanity

At least one of the cubs is now apart from its mother, either it rejected it due to smelling humans all over it or it ran away in fear and got lost.

The other cub, no clue, might be with mommy, might be dead, no clue.

Well, that's really frustrating. Thanks for the follow up.

Reminds me of how staff at a major national park (Yosemite, I think) struggled to come up with an effective bear-proof trashcan because "there is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

They should all receive jail time, be banned from state parks and ideally be fined so heavily that it destroys all of their futures.

They need to be rescued then.
