Bear as porch pirate
For non pet people, Chewy company is a pet supply company. I have used them for cat food delivery.

People, people, people. If you are going to live where the bears are, please learn how to protect them and yourselves from harmful interactions. Leaving food unattended on the porch is just so lacking in understanding the peril you invite.
I live in bear country and around here we have ordinances prohibiting such deliveries and fines. You should understand that you are responsible for getting a bear in trouble. In my area rural residents have a big metal box near the mailbox rail, the kind you might see in the back of a pickup truck behind the cab. They have a combination lock and thus are bearproof.
If you are going to receive bear luring packages, please consider protecting the bear from human lures by having them placed in such a container or have someone else receive them and not leave them unattended outside.
Makes me want to scream because trying to get people to understand this issue, having been a public outreach and ed pro for quite a while, looks and feels just like talking to fucking magats. It is not cute or just a temporary inconvenience, you are teaching the bears bad habits and rewarding them with food.
They learn tricks with treats, these tricks will get them killed. A fed bear is a dead bear.
Anything that smells like it might even possibly be food will attract them and they can smell far better than they can see and they see pretty well.
It's a problem because people have been lead to think that bears are cute and cuddly when they are anything but. We don't know how to behave when faced with wild animals at all anymore.
that gets Ralph, the Chewy TV commercial St Bernhard, his peanut butter treat.
