That's what Linda Searles and the folks at Southwest Wildlife have been doing for months, since all those lost little bears wandered into Phoenix, Tempe and other Arizona towns looking for a bite to eat. It's been a horrible year for bears and other Arizona wildlife.
Dry weather means chow is in short supply in the backcountry.
That's why the bears have been coming to town. When they do, they get into trouble and end up being captured and sent to Southwest Wildlife. There they will be nursed back to health and hopefully released in pairs sometime this winter. In the meantime, they eat and eat and eat. When the bears come to Southwest, Searles says their fat content is almost nil.
