Now, I've never understood marketing, but does it seem a trifle... odd...
that a campground would publish a picture of a bear wandering past a picnic
table in their camp, in broad daylight? I enjoy Brother Bruin as much as
the next guy, but not necessarily in camp.

(or is that a picture of Wolfgang retreating? :-)

It might save them on lawsuits if someone gets injured or killed by
the bear. "Well, duh, we show the picture of it wandering around
right on our page." Until they get the lawyer for the plaintiff
saying, "Doesn't that imply that it's a tame bear or under control by
the campground owner?" Unfortunately that's what some inexperienced
people actually will think. They'd better have some nice release
forms signed by all campers as they check in.
