The purpose of the "Don't Feed the Bears Act of 2025" is to prohibit the intentional feeding of bears on federal public lands. This legislation aims to end the practice of "bear baiting," where hunters use food to attract bears for hunting. By doing so, the law seeks to reduce dangerous encounters between bears and people, which can lead to property damage and safety risks. Key provisions of the act include a clear ban on feeding bears on federal lands, enforced by the relevant government agencies.
