Feeding time at the zoo?

Something like that, yes indeed, something just like that.

Interesting place. Note the "pet" bear cub in the foreground. This WAS actually a logging town located about 35 miles east/north east of DuBois.

WorthPoint reference on a similar postcard with some of the history of the time. It was quite a logging community. The camp was nothing like most logging camps and a town was sprouting up around it.

Here is a screen grab of Hicks Run from Google earth. It's gone. Only some of the roads remain. It's now a camping area.

There was a lot of logging operations in PA. More than enough to build a logging layout and lots of information available!

Cute and cuddly and adorable , at that age . Ok. But at what age does Cutie become Big Appetite , and simply see everybody there as easily-available snacks ?
AND, btw , is MommyBear somewhere out-of-sight ready to express her displeasure at seeing Babybear as the camp pet ? !

Right after that point in time where you have roast bear for dinner!

You'd never have a young bear as a pet if the mother were still alive.

Makes sense, of course. But they could have Babybear-napped it while destroying the entire bearhood.

Yet, you're right because mommy would have been right on their heels , so she probably got eliminated.

....... so she probably got eliminated.

and made into a good meal for all to enjoy!

Your comments are the first I ever heard of people eating bear.

Really? What do you think bear hunters do with all the meat?

I think eating bear or any animal was rather common on frontiers, D. Boone et al.

I remember having it when I was young and living with my grandparents. Then again, game of some kind was a regular at meal time.
