I don't actually see this as a problem

Apparently, the U.S. Forest Service at a South Lake Tahoe park are having to issue warnings to get people to stop taking "selfies" with bears.

It's not like they're putting their arms around the bears, but the tourists seem to be maneuvering so that bears are visible in the near background.

That's according to officials with the U.S. Forest Service in charge of maintaining the popular Taylor Creek Visitor Center in South Lake Tahoe.
The creek is the site of a spectacular annual run of kokanee salmon, which also attracts hungry bears.
And lately it's also attracting lots of smart phone-wielding photographers desperate for unique social media profile photos.

I'm totally OK with this. If the bears can pick off a few of these morons, it'll be like pouring chlorine in the gene pool. Just a little Darwinism at work, folks. Nothing to see here. Except idiots like this:

Please, please, please be hungry. Hat tip to Hot Air.
