- Meet Vince, the man who turned his home into a fast food stop for wild black bears. Fascinating video including cute images of baby cubs from BBC animal show 'Bear Crime', narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

I can't imagine seeing 10 bears at once but 90 bears in a single area? This man is raising an army of raw power and strength
He is affiliated with Putin .
Yogi Bear...and friends 🐻🤣
I would go into serotonin overload I would die having so many fat belies to pet
black bears are no more dangerous than your neighborhood dogs.
they are fat fucks now. No value, just being lazy. I guess they'll soon start playing video games. A recipe for being a loser
Imagine if you are a burglar trying to break in to this guy's house and you just get torn apart by wild bears.
i could imagine this being a terraria boss Where you find a cabin structure and you kill the man inside, when it says
*Bears are approaching from the East/West*
Black bears don't attack people.. you'd be better off trying to get a Betta fish as a guard
Would be amazing but wouldnt happen coz black bears r awesomely wholesome
Bears be like : you pick the wrong house fool 😠
No one will touch the food giver 🤬
@@Infiniti-Benz you crazy.. black bears actually eat ppl while brown bears neutralize us if they percieve us a threats.. that is why you play dead with a grizzly but fight back against a black bear..
Whether its right or wrong to feed these bears...i don't know. but amazing to see how gentle they can be around other bears and so many human visitors.When they know they are getting treated well , even if it;s for food,they show an intelligence , they don't deserve to be hunted down .
It’s wrong. Now you know.
Bears are omnivorous like us, not 100% predatory. As soon as the buffet closes, the menu would change.😉
Who "deserves" to be hunted down? People/animals need to eat 🤷♂️ its not a matter of who deserves to get killed lmao
@@IosuamacaMhadaidh Most bears are omnivores. However the polar bear is 100% carnivorous, and actually will eat humans as a snack if given the chance. Pandas are herbivores.
people saying its bad to interact with black bears are dumb and dont realize theres a HUGE difference between black bears and grizzleys black bears are super chill grizzleys are super dangerous.
I swear when the apocalypse takes over, and everyone is fighting each other for territory, I swear this man is having his army of bears.
Aliens.
This is now a privately funded bear sanctuary named after Vince Chute. Located near Orr, Minnesota. The bears are free to come and go but human visitors are kept in an enclosed, raised viewing area. Seeing all of the cubs and the interaction among the bears and especially the protective mothers is well worth a visit and a donation.
Määhh we love black bears! They're so cute with their heart-shaped noses!❤🐻😘
Is Pooh bear a black bear?

Yes 🧸
Then you get eaten and everyone ignores you and treat animals as the victim.

I’ll test that statement.

Your can visit this place its open to the public. It is not as the film says "A guys back yard" it is ann old mining camp turned into a Bear sanctuary.
NO, none of the visitors here have ever been bear fatalities.They are actually probably preventing bears from becoming predatory/ @@wesleyburton5684

Colorado-native Donna Munson thought that it would be a great idea to feed bears, too. In 2009, the bears she fed killed and ate her.
Exactly they are not pets
Things always fuck up when women are in charge
It happens. But its extremely rare. In 240 years, theres only been 66 times a black bear put down a human. On the whole continent.
Minnesota, where this happened, has never had a fatal black bear attack.
And in terms of nonlethal bear attacks... theres about 10 on the whole continent per year. Possums hospitalize 300-400 people in the USA alone per year.
Things can always go bad. But the risk is so much lower than youre making it out to be.
This is actually totally normal behavior. Bears are by nature extremely lazy, they're looking for the easiest way to get a meal. Humans provide this and it works. I just hope no one gets hurt.
That’s not lazy, it’s just sensible. It’s not like they can plan ahead, like canning produce in the summer so you’ve got some for the winter. If you can’t be sure your next meal exists, you stuff yourself while you can.
That's what happens when people become dependent on government too.
No, it does not work. Your stupidity and ignorance shows with this statement
Interfering with nature for disguised egoistic reasons, will always cause problems.
Some of those dedicated bears make me feel so proud, i am tearing up just watching them eat. Go on big fella, make us proud.
I can bearly believe it
This guy is so lovely as a person u can genuinely fell it
Most animals are more smart than we give them credit for. 1 bear was able to gather a community of bears to someone who was willing to feed them and love them ❤️
That was my first and foremost thought, the conversations that the bears must have had between themselves as word of these free meals spread far like wildfire amongst them.
i just love bears, they're such amazing animals. i wish i could go in there and hug one of them
they look cute and adorable, but a single misunderstood action could lead to a horrible tragic death
They look like giant corgi's
i think as long as he doesn’t pull a timothy tradwell and forget these are wild animals that act on instinct, he should be fine
Black bears are actually pretty harmless, compared to grizzlies and polar bears who are physically larger and more of a better Carnivore. the worst it can do to you is scratch deeply and bite deeply but it’s not BIG enough to kill you.
@@elilope7992 As long as you don’t run up on a mother and her cubs, they will run away as long as they have the option to. Just give them space and they’ll always pick flight. They like to raid the dumpster out by my apartment, there’s a mother and her two Cubs and a three legged male whom we assume lost his left paw to a trap.
@@elilope7992 i may be misunderstanding here but black bears can definitely kill you I mean they way 400lbs and are still bears they definitely have the ability to kill a human
These guys are just big stray dogs if you don’t give them a reason to be violent they’re smart enough to know you may give them food and can be friendly enough for it

If you don’t have food for them, you are food!
There's a good man with a big heart ❤️👍
Bears are one of the most intelligent animals.They are very adaptable;so much so, that they can lose their fear of humans, and their fear of other bears.
They tried this "feeding time" at Yellowstone Park in the 60's and it was a huge failure.
It is fun to make "friends" with wild animals,but it can quickly get out of hand.
I used to hunt black bears but now I just observe them.
You will have karma for murdering animals. At least now, you aren’t taking their lives.
Omg what a big beautiful german shepherd!!!! a big happy family!! :3
I💓bears, there smart, highly intelligent and just so peaceful to watch. I don't ever refuse any animals food and absolutely love animals🐻🐻

I live with my dog.
He is my only real friend.

And people like you don’t see the danger in your “kindness”. Feeding wild animals should get you many years in prison.
Vince is the safest man in the world 😂
This is one hundred percent ok feeding them its generous and there respectful its great
No its not. Bears have a natural and healthy fear of people which causes them to avoid us. If you feed them, they'll lose that fear and get more bolder with approaching people and wandering into our neighborhoods looking for food which causes more bear/human encounters which is dangerous. The bears will eventually get more aggressive towards people and start dragging off small children. We have to let them know we are not a food source so they'll keep their distance and stay in the wild where they belong.
@danelicker317
Thats all old wives tales. "A fed bear is a dead bear" is only true because of that belief.
The reality is that bears who associate humans with food come into human settlements... which means more people see them. It increases their risk of car accidents, being confused for a predator by a vigilante parent, or being accused falsely of aggression when it tries to bluff charge its way out of a stressful situation.
In the last 240 years, there have been 66 lethal black bear attacks on the whole continent. Virtually every one of them occurred far away from human settlements by bears who were never socialized around people. Bears who are fed by people are LESS likely to attack people. But theyre virtually guaranteed to be dead within a short time of making human populated areas a regular part of their life.
Feeding black bears is wrong because it is often a death sentence for the bear. There is virtually zero risk to the person doing it.
However... this is also a black bear sanctuary. Very different from an old man just feeding bears.
"enough with the chit chat lets get the grub goin"
He’s bound to be on the menu.
It just takes one bear having a bad day and his arm will be gone. Like humans, bears are un-predictable.
Now that's your hidden bodyguards LOL imagine somebody sneaking up on your property day or night and a bunch of black bears come out of nowhere LoL , pretty cool takes care of those animals
Thank you vinmega!!!!......
Your comment shows wisdom and a deep understanding of nature conservancy.
LOL....I really can envision some poor misguided soul banging pots and pans....
I hunt whitetailed deer and moose and I have been known as a bear hunter....But black bears intrigued me after a while ;and so now, I leave the bear hunt to my son.I really enjoy watching bears.
I do not feel like I have anything to prove by taking another bar.
At some point Vince may become part of the menu.
i love bears!
Vince is an awesome human. God bless him.❤️❤️❤️
I love bears
I live near hear i is reallly neat to go see them while camping
02:26. That is unbelievable. His belly almost touches the ground.
"You are forever responsible for that which you have tamed." (the little prince)
Anyone notice 0:23?
The bear tried biting his hand when he reached out to pet it.
RoxStar09 my dog does that hes just playful
That’s normal bear behavior. If he wanted to bite him he would have bit him no questions asked
It was a very mild warning. If he had been really angry he would have taken the guy's hand right off his wrist. Even a small dog can quickly remove a finger if it wants too.
I see a huge potential opportunity to do some interesting reserach with these bears it might require sedating a few and radio tagging them or ataching radio collars but it would be worth while doing especialy to keep tabs on the local population numbers.
LOL, 2:03 that bear looks like my uncle after he's had Sunday dinner.
aww i love bears..........they're like my favorite animals
2:24 bruh..
THICC
Schlubby bear

Beautiful forest dogs.
Teaching bears that humans are a food source just promotes human/bear conflicts.
In all seriousness we need to ban all trophy hunting and we need to stop hunting bears in general because its not right to hunt an intelligent creature of any kind. If solitary creatures like bears possess the intelligence to call other bears for a free handout i could only imagine that they are fully aware of the actions of trophy hunters. This video of a guy feeding just one bear proves they can spread the word across a very large area. Could senseless hunting be part of the reason why some bears are very aggressive towards people?
***** I do not feed trolls so i will only address this once hunting is no longer necessary except to track down dangerous animals that have harmed someone. We live in an age where people no longer need meat for food and besides trophy hunters usually don't even keep the meat anyways. People are the most wasteful, evil, cruel, sinful, polluting, and not to mention the most ungrateful species on the planet bar none.
*****
Well be thankful that we still can agree to disagree because it doesn't look like people will have any freedom of speech in the not distant future.
If we could teach them to feed on liberals, this would be a win-win.
@@keybladefaith156but black bear's population is booming, there are 1 million black bears in america, hunting it just ensure its population doesn't threaten human beings
You know you're cool when David Attenborough talks about you.
90 bears demanding to be fed!! LOL
Black bears are the only bear species I like.
+Leonardo puentes Bears just think with their stomach and want to eat food just dont interact with em too much or it can lead you in danger.
Planet of the bears😂 amazing I’m mind blown
Vince is a good man!
That bear at 2:00 looks like balou 😂😂 he was sitting there looking like the old man
Bears are perfect companion for drunkard and easy going human being..
I think its so heart warming but they will rely on this man what will happen to him what will be come of these lovely bears
At the Wildlife Research Institute in minnesota they' feed bears to gather scientific information on them. In summer when wild food is available out in the Forest they do not see most of these research bears because they have discovered bears actually prefer the wild foods the forage in the woods to what people offer them. They have discovered that feeding bears does not make them "Forget how to find wild food" which has been proven to be a myth.
Really? that’s actually interesting, but I still wouldn’t go around feeding bears. I stick with birds.
That's a massive bear beer belly if I ever saw one. I bet he's got a cold keg sitting in a nearby stream and only comes around for some bar snacks and to laugh at the tourists. Life is good!
black bear live forever
This looks like my kinda job
What a beautiful video! I'm absolutely crazy about all types of bears: black, grizzly, polar, pandas,etc. I'd love to hug a bear! I know there are folks who raise bears from the time they're born out West. So lucky! I've never been closer to a bear than in a zoo, sadly. I'd love the bejesus out of those bear cubbies! Kissing and hugging them!
I love black bears!! They remind me of Phoebe, my beloved childhood dog. She was a really fat black lab who was super sweet!
the gathering of the bearloos
Imagine what it would do for Animal - Human relationship if we openly held festivals for them with all of the left over food in the town so there was no waste! The bears after awhile would figure out "Hey man, these humans are pretty cool, we see them, they seem happy, they feed us and we feel included" the bears would pass a new Law among themselves stating NO MORE stealing from the humans, no more rummaging in garbage, breaking into homes, pretending to terrorize children when all we want is their Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, bears can eat old food and they never even Sue you if they get a little sick ...........Humans and Animals Unite !!!!
1:55 Yo how did they get that pic of me?!
Look at those big Sweetie Sniffers!!🥰🤩💗🐻
2:26 he loves food. big fat bear.. cute
The bears like aye.....everybody be easy....dont attack no one ane we gone eat good😂😂😂😂
this is really cute and all and I don't want to be a downer but I don't think it's good for the bears to become dependent on humans like this
Old man don’t ever run out of food😂
“Don’t feed the bears” Why cause I’ll get a bunch of awesome bear friends?
Gosh they’re just like big bloopy fuzz puppies. Albeit they can rip you in half, but they’re still friend shaped
I agree with you 100% bro, at least the part about us being in THEIR homes. And I have no problem with helping them out, but what this man is doing is NOT a good idea for several reasons. These Bears will end up being 'problem Bears', and likely be put down. . .If there was a way to help them without them knowing humans were helping, it would be ok IMO. I'm not sure how that would be accomplished, but I'm sure it can.

"can I pet that dawg"
These are dangerous animals but not as aggressive as grizzelys, all they care about is food and dont like confrontations, if you get confrontational that is when they will attack you also if you show fear. If you make loud noises however they will run away though.
Best land dwelling animal to ever grace gods green earth.
mythology
Bears are kind of scavengers despite their huge size and power
When they find a source of food they keep it for as long as they can until the day of hibernation
Plus it keeps them protected from poachers
Black bears at least in Michigan are pretty tiny all 350 or less usually 175 to 225. Could easily tame one and make it a pet
Bears maybe domesticated in a few hundred years
This is dangerous lunacy
dont mind me just binge watching bear videos in 2020
I wonder how many of these eventually had to be put down due to this guy? This is bear abuse. DONT FEED THE BEARS.
Yep or at least put the food away from the humans so the bears don't associate the two.
Know much about it do you ? No,you don’t. Just parroting what you’ve heard. But if you’re truly concerned about bears being put down, then take up the cause of opposing bear hunting, which puts down a lot of bears.
@SteveWynn-x2j clearly you are an imbecile

@@SteveWynn-x2jThere is nothing wrong with hunting animals for food. However going on a killing spree for pure pleasure without utilizing the food/body is wrong.

Better try a lynx - they are probably the wild cat species most suitable for being kept as a pet... in a very broad sense of "pet"! Not as indoor cats!
This is one of the best ideas I have ever seen from humans!!
black and some of the lesser brown bears are the most awesome species of bear I love them to death and if they are having a hard time they ask for food, yet they still love wild berries and other things humans cant give so I say if a bear comes a knocking give him some love and he will love you back also depending on the species and diet their scat is good fertalizer
+leon Brierley what if u fed 1 bear, he told 10 of his friends. 5 get ran over cause they see humans = food. 3 get shot because they think they killing their dog or children. the final get shot because they regularly go up to humans on trails which only getting worse as population grows. UNDERSTAND YOUR ACTIONS
even if they look tamed their is a risk to them and you.
Feeding bears is rarely a good idea. They grow huge and will come back for more with their friends and cubs. As cute as they are, it's usually not for the best. Especially if you live around others. Neighbors will get spooked and bears might get hurt/killed.
your right just because I had a few friendly black bears at the cottage does not mean a big on could turn on me I have a soft spot because the one's I fed were like overgrown winnie the poohs

It’s a black bear not a grizzly
this is the best thing i have seen
Have to say from experience that this doesn’t end well. Just as the guy said these bears associate people with food, so eventually those bears will move on one way or another, and when they do and people don’t give them food then the people themselves can easily become the food
this man is a GOD to the bears
He just better be careful. Bears are still wild animals and the most dangerous land animal ever.

These bears are over weight.
When you’re on top of the food chain you can intervene and or feed whenever the hell you feel like it.
Are you kidding? This man should be arrested by Wildlife authorities. By feeding wild bears, he is endangering everyone within those bears' territories. Each bear could have a territory of about 50 miles. I live in the woods in bear territory. I teach my children to respect bears. They do not need to think of humans as a food source. What happens when they approach a human expecting to eat and don't get food? I'll tell you. Someone gets mauled.I wouldn't want this guy living within 100 miles of me.
+Laura Roberts (Log Home Sweet Home) Animals were designed to relate to human beings. Dogs started out as wild animals, so did cats. All wild animals can be tamed.
+Laura Roberts (Log Home Sweet Home) if you find an abandoned wild animal and it's a baby... would you take it home and care for it until it's old enough to be in the wild by itself?
yes this man needs to be stopped look at the people walking past these bears.such a shame for them bears they will have to be put down now.
Bears are dangerous even if you don't feed them. Sometimes they pop out of nowhere, the next thing you know your being chased but bears are faster than humans and then you get mauled to death.
Laura, you don't know what you're talking about. The bears in this video look really nice and cuddly. And let's suppose that one of them want to eat you, YOU JUST RUN AWAY. Duhhhhhh!!!
If you're not fast enough to outrun a tub of lard, that's your problem, but don't put this on the rest of us. Idiot!
15 years ago. What has happened to these bears since?
It's probably not a good ending
They remind me of rottweilers
