They think bears will associate people with food and eventually get more aggressive toward people and finally kill. This all sounds logical and has become common belief. When I started doing little experiments, everything came out the opposite. If you feed bears consistently at one cabin, they don't bother going to other cabins. If you feed them when there's a good crop of their natural foods, you can't get them to come no matter what food you put out.
Any killings happen in remote areas where bears have had little or no contact with people.
