Isn’t the strategy for black bears just to shame them? I swear I’ve seen a video of someone just telling a black bear “no” and it just leaves?

Yes, it would be enough to talk angry to that bear. It's not even a large bear. It would get spooked and ran. Some people let themselves intimidate too easily 'ooooh it's a bear, danger danger'.
Then you have those who think that shooting them is the only solution.
They sure love to kill. Even though they tell you they don't. They do.

You know what I really love? The sound of a 6 year old kid getting mauled. Yep. That’s a great noise. Panic. Fear. Pain. Confusion. Wait. I really think that’s awful. You know what sound I really love? The sound of folks staying away from bears for the most part. Picking up their food and throwing it in bear safe cans. Spooking bears so they keep a distance from folks. I do carry a bear gun in the woods. I haven’t needed to use it yet. I hope I never do. The only probable reason I would though is because folks didn’t do their part before I met the critters.

Yeah, you're that person who loves to have a reason to murder and kill.
I know.
I seem to know you better in these matters than you know yourself.
You have no idea of wildlife in these matters. Your knowledge is zero.
I've seen your other comments. They are not of someone with knowledge. To kill this little bear because he eats from the table..
There's a difference when a bear becomes a TRUE danger and a bear just eating from a table.
If you resort to killing for that. You have to go to a psych , get your head checked out.

Okay so as someone who advocates for carrying while on hikes due to encounters with mountain lions, both yall are wrong. Dude who originally commented is wrong for implying this bear needs put down but not for advocating for a bear gun, guns are more than tools for killing, they are VERY LOUD and that’s all you really need for a black bear.
Now, for a grizzly or brown bear I would advocate shooting it in this case. Though I’d prefer the people shoot it before it got this fucking close. If a black bear is this close, or any bear, your best bet is to protect your vitals and hope it gets bored before you get dead… startling this bear could lead to a violent response

You know very little about wildlife management and risk management involved. This is the moment they become a danger. It’s not the moment they need to die, but they can’t effort comfortable eating and taking from humans or they will become forceful about it. This is 100% the moment that they have to be removed from the wild. There is no coming back from this. Sucks, and it’s that person’s fault, but it’s also how it has to be in order to protect the six-year-old from getting killed.

Naw man bears deserve our love to. Always feed them your leftovers. With smaller ones and blackbears ive gotten away with handfeeding them to, very nice creatures. Not as mean as what people think they are, sad they are portrayed as killers in movies and online.

You are one of the 'too many' on this planet.
Nature is having a hard time due to creatures like you.

“Protectors” my ass. Make a loud noise and scare it away, or at least guide your family away, the mother’s the only one protecting the kid. He’s useless, he really just took a picture while the bear is right next to the mother and child

u/Busy_Pound5010 Nov 15 '24
protecting? that mother is just shielding his eyes so the kid won’t watch the bear eating him

Yeah, Yogi. Try that in a small town (in America). They'll ve having bear steak tomorrow.

u/heaven-howitzer Sep 16 '24
Seemingly a hot take: this is mostly the right thing to do. Yeah black bears can be easy to intimidate but it's better to just leave it the fuck alone let it have the food and dip rather than taking the risk of the bear actually pressing you back

If someone did something the rink of yogi getting violent would increase, if the bear is chill no need to risk escalation

u/bigeats1 Jun 10 '24
Not at this point. Bear just connected people with food and has no fear of people. Can’t be in the wild anymore. Has to either be captured and spend his entire life in captivity or be euthanized for human safety.

u/ulfric_stormcloack Jun 10 '24
yes, the bear being near people is reason for someone who knows how to handle it to handle it, if random dude number 3 tries something it could be dangerous for everyone involved, so reasonably the right thing to do is record the incident as proof/for whatever distinctive markings the bear could have, let sir bearington eat, quietly get away and let someone else handle the problem

u/bigeats1 Jun 10 '24
The correct answer is shoot the bear with something powerful enough to end the discussion instantly. Sucks, but he’s a human hazard and mortal threat right at that moment. I am a hunter, love bears and don’t fancy killing any of them, but this one has to go instantly.
6
u/ulfric_stormcloack Jun 10 '24
that only applies if you have something to onetap the bear at hand at that moment, if you don't you gotta find someone who does, which implies leaving the area while the bear is distracted

u/bigeats1 Jun 10 '24
That’s a yearling male. It’s going down with a CNS shot. You’re in a park with wildlife (I know…Mexico is totally safe from wild animals and drug cartels, so you don’t need one) so being responsibly armed is appropriate. Even openly. That said a moderate caliber like 10mm ends the discussion. Really, 357 on up does the job without question. You will not catch me in the woods without something solid.

u/ulfric_stormcloack Jun 10 '24
that still requires the people there having one, which is not guaranteed
3
u/bigeats1 Jun 10 '24
Responsible people have a means of self defense in the woods against what’s likely there. Blissful negligence to do otherwise. If I’m in bear country, I have a bear gun. No desire to use it, I really dig bears mind you, but it’s readily available to me at all times. Sometimes things go sideways and I’m not willing to die for a bear.

cool, you're not on the video, they clearly didn't have one, if they did then they didn't have training

With bear that small there is a good chance of the onetap to overpenetrate and hit the people.

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/donthelpjustfilm.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

If you're reposting that comment a year from now, just like the bear content, I'll think about it.

No, worse than reposting, just took a screen grab and some karma.
No need to suck yours, pretty sure you can suck it yourself.
Next time, just avoid the asshat response. Most people consider the repost bot to be a haha moment.

That bear is so emancipated. They could have taken him. Pussies.

u/yomommasofat- Jun 09 '24
No. Emancipated. He went to court to gain self-custody. He proved that his biological parents were at best neglectful and at worst abusive.
