One of my summer jobs was working in a camping park for the Lands and Forest. We had morons that chased a black bear to hand feed it a sandwich. It scratched his hand and the bear had to be put down as per park rules. The worst fear you had in the wild is to find yourself between a mother and her cub yet somebody watching this video would be inclined to run up and hug the cub.

A morbid streak in me is the scenario in this video when mon leaves the cubs with her to go out and forage then returns with a dead hiker to feed the kids.

The story of another bear lover ..

Facing Grizzlies | Knowledge.ca

Just watched this one recently. This guy cracked the code to how indigenous people co existed with grizzlies for thousands of years. Very interesting. 50 years of living closely with them and never came close to being attacked. Earn their trust. Show them respect and they reciprocate. I don't suppose I could carry it off, but he has. Amazing insight.

Black bear vs Grizzly. Is one more aggressive or more common to have human interactions?
Not including the Zoo , the only bear I've ever seen had a long beard and was wearing leather chaps walking down Yonge Street.

Oh boy do I love bears
You can bet your life that I do
There aint nothing anywhere but a big black bear
Long as he's a mile away from you!

That Yogi Berra moment tells me everything I need to know about this woman (Not quite smart)

Yeah, that woman is terrible at risk assessment. Her chances of getting harmed goes up as the risk goes up (Darwin's Law). Not all risks are equal.

Risk/reward. Whatever rewards she’s getting is not worth her life even if there’s a one percent chance.

A woman I know went camping. She bought some bear spray. I asked her how does she know the spray works. Did they test it on real bears?

Native Americans didn't have to hunt black bears for their protection.
They cohabited with bisons roaming all over North American plain as
well until white settlers arrived and wiped them out. It is the black bears
who need protection from human beings.
