13 Bears, a big dog, a Vietnamese Pig and a Racoon.

Oh yes, and 2,500 marijuana plants. A Russian news report with English subtitles:
Parent story (from August 19th, 2010) at the Toronto Star:
�Bit of an odd situation,� police find bears guarding pot crop
Marijuana growers in the B.C. Interior are using a new kind of bear trap, but its not bears they�re trapping.

Police uncovered two separate outdoor marijuana crops of about 2,300 plants near Christina Lake, just a few kilometres from the Canada-U.S. border.

When officers arrived in the area two weeks ago, they found 13 black bears wandering around the crops and then discovered the bears had been fed dog food.
