Bob West Registered: 11/13/09 Posts: 326 Loc: Bishop, CA, USA	I can't condone this either, Steve. It reminds me of the tourists at Olmsted Point, in the T/Mdws road, feeding tatter chips to the marmots. It makes a cute video, but human food is not good for marmots! Save it for the bears. Info from a vet: http://drnelsonsveterinaryblog.com/2012/...ld-rodents.aspx Let's hope the video doesn't encourage other hikers from repeating the performance.
