Police in Canada reportedly discovered 14 wild black bears guarding an illegal marijuana farm in the western part of the country last month.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police sergeant Fred Mansveld said that drug growers had used dog food to lure the bears to the British Columbia property to scare off thieves, AFP reports.
Mansveld said: "They were tame, they just sat around watching... at one point one of the bears climbed onto the hood of a police car, sat there for a bit and then jumped off."
Governmental conservation officer Dave Webster explained that the bears might have to be put down as a result of being tamed by the marijuana farmers.
"If a bear is deemed to be a safety risk and is habituated to human food and not able to feed itself in the wild, it will be destroyed," he said.
