A woman faces charges after recording herself feeding a black bear
A woman from Virgina could be looking at 6 months in jail after she posted a video of herself feeding a black bear while on vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The woman posted a video to TikTok of her feeding the bear what appears to be watermelon, chocolate and other foods, according to reports (and the TikTok video below). Feeding the bear was a violation of regulations put in place in 2000 that prohibited people from feeding or leaving out food or garbage in a way that could attract bears.
