EXCERPT: But after a picture-hungry crowd chased a mother bear and her two cubs Wednesday, Aspen police are warning that what may look like an opportunity for rock star selfie with a bear, could cause the animal to lose its life.
Police spent most of Wednesday monitoring a mother and two cubs that were in a tree on the Hyman Avenue mall.
When the bears came down in the evening, they faced a crowd, many of whom “insisted on trying to get close enough to take selfies,” according to Sgt. Rob Fabrocini.
Fabrocini witnessed one woman walk up to the bears with her child in her arms hoping to take a picture with them.
