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.
