Nothing like having habituated wild black and brown bears to come to your house for food. 20 years of training and they'll come any time they want.

Alaska law against feeding wildlife was eventually enforced, requiring him to place a barrier (fence) around his cabin to keep bears away, to stop feeding them, imposed a $20,000 fine and a suspended jail sentence.
