Bears have always been a problem when people move into their territory. Worked for three summers in a NW national park during college years. I remember tourists getting out of cars to feed bears which would actually walk on two legs to people giving out goodies. Situation was more than park rangers could handle. One incident happened at the campground when a camper was yelling at some cubs snitching food to get off the picnic table. The foolish camper went so far as to chase the cubs down the hill into the heavy wooded area. Not a good idea at night. Mama bear was waiting off the path an took a swipe at the guy. The guys WWII leather flight jacket was shredded as was his chest. As I recall the guy was lucky that people were following him and they picked him up right away and took him 10 +or- miles to an Indian reservation medical facility. I have worked in the woods putting up phone lines and always saw bears but gave them plenty of territory for hunting food.
Yep in real life they aren’t interested in just the “Pic-a-nic” Basket.
The problem is when bears or other predators are “allowed” to move back into inhabited or populated territory. Restrictions on hunting and trapping of predators in places like California, for example, have meant that these animals have come back down from the high mountains and are now hunting people, since they no longer have any fear of humans.
