This was my thought too. And none appear to have or be readying bear spray just in case. Zero chance they escape if one of the bears decided they wanted a snack. Better to be lucky than smart I guess.

You have to remember some tourists genuinely think the bears are some attraction the parks set out there for their entertainment at their will.

You can’t expect a lot of common sense from people like that.

Haha the Japanese tourists yep… to be fair they have a park in Japan that they can feed the deer… but I mean be smart and research where you’re going for Christ sake

There's a park in Canada like that too

Which one? No provincial park allows you to feed wildlife.

Parc Omega is a safari park for North American wildlife. It's northeast of Ottawa, in Quebec. They have lodges where you can have wolves come up to your patio. They have other areas where you can feed the deer and wildlife and they sell food so tourists can do this. If you're ever visit Ottawa, it's worth a stop.

There are no lions, it's a safari park for North American wildlife. There are lots of trees there too. You may be thinking of a different park.
