"'Spoiled' bears are the subject of this film. These are animals whose natural feeding habits have been disrupted by the availability of food brought into the parks by man. Provides information intended to alert the public to the danger of spoiled bears and to educate people on food disposal, safe camping habits and on the work of the Parks Canada bears management programme."

Bibliography: 

Online Database National Film Board of Canada:
"Two-thirds of all injuries inflicted by bears are inflicted by those who have become panhandling garbage junkies. This film describes the Parks Canada bear-management program in Canada's mountain national parks. It is designed to protect the visiting public from confrontation with and injury by the bears."
