Your inability to distinguish between poaching and self defense is childish.
You seem to have an inability to understand that “self defense” argument runs a bit thin when you’re actively putting yourself into potential harm.
You go to play in the bears backyard - you have to accept that the bears might not (on a very rare occasion) be hospitable and let you be.
Poaching is unauthorized hunting - see, I do understand the concept. Problem is, bears being protected in small out-of-the-way areas being killed “in self defense”, are still dead bears, reducing a population that is already much reduced by all the past “people making their own choices” and “exercising their freedoms”.
Not to knock you, but do people actually consider themselves some kind of demi-gods, holding such arrogance that they feel entitled to walk among the great predators anywhere they wish without risk?
That’s the same sort of thinking as foreign tourists running up to bison trying to get a selfie.
