Original: Colorado Parks and Wildlife warns residents to bring pumpkins inside
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is warning residents to keep their pumpkins inside as Halloween decorations increasingly draw hungry wildlife into neighborhoods. Bears and other animals are attracted to the food source, and officials say Decorations left outdoors can lead to unwanted close encounters and animals becoming conditioned to human areas. Residents are being asked to display pumpkins indoors or bring them in overnight.
Why now: Halloween season pumpkin displays are attracting bears and other wildlife into residential areas, prompting an official safety warning.
