Da Bären zu der Familie der "Hundeartigen" gehören, und Schokolade auf Hunde eine potientiell tödliche Wirkung hat, würde mich interessieren ob Bären mit Schokolade wirklich klarkommen.

von Michigan Sportsman Forum: chocolate for bear baiting

"MSU wildlife veterinarian, Jim Sikarski:

I don't know of any cases of chocolate poisoning in bears, but it is quite common in dogs and for all practical purposes, bears are just big dogs. The fact that they are so big means that it would take a lot of chocolate to cause toxicity, but 5-10 pounds is not likely to cause a problem in a 2-300 pound bear. A big dog (75-80#) can get away with eating 4-5 #s of milk chocolate, but unsweetened chocolate is about 10 times more toxic. I'm thinking a 2-300 pound bear could eat 15-20 pounds of milk chocolate and not die, but might be seizuring and easier to shoot ( or hyper responsive to stimulae and dangerous and unpredictable!) Smaller bears certainly might eat enough at a bait site and depending on the amount out there, any bear could (would in the fall) eat enough to have a problem.""

Interessant, danke caro!
