Looks to be true.
Here is the original source.
I wonder what this idiot thinks will happen when "his" bears encounter other humans? Once the bears lose their fear of people it will only be a matter of time until somebody--either bear or human--dies. Usually it's the bear. Who knows how many "problem" bears he has created over the years that had to be shot in other locations?
I hate to say it, but in the long run it might be better for everybody if this dope gets mauled.
