"Bears are basically shy and avoid humans unless humans move into bear country and leave food out to attract bears. As was done in Yellostone, bears can be trained to stay away from Human food"
Appreciate that little bit of propaganda. A male bear is going to mark off a large amount of territory for himself and drive off any other male bear that comes into his territory. This area can be as large as 1,000 acres depending on how much of the local foilage and such it takes to keep a bear alive through the winter. these other bears must go somewhere else or they will be killed.
Come toward wintertime and bears must feed. They go to where the food is. (HINT- you are not at the top of the food chain) When you look at a bear you are looking at your equal on the food chain. Yes they tend to avoid humans because of this but If it's late in the year and food has been scarce you look like a ham sandwich to them.
Are you willing to accept responsibility for damage done when bears become a threat to humans? Are you willing to Accept responsibility when the bear population exceeds the sustainability of it's habitat?
We are not ALONE at the top of the food chain. I've eaten bear meat. It makes pretty good sausage.
I'm sure that, under the right circumstances, a bear would be happy to return the favour.
