Info from Licensor: "We live on the rural urban divide at the edge of a small city. There are several medium sized farms around or abutting our property. Because of this we get a lot of wildlife and have seen this family of bears before. This is the first time they have ever come onto the porch though as they usually stay in the woods behind our house. A couple of times I have seen them across the street in the wood. They must have just come out of hibernation and were starving as they went after the suet cakes hanging from the porch. They easily broke the chain holding the cage up. They opened the container and ate them right in the yard but managed not to destroy it. I went outside and found it a hour or so later."
