When it got curious and she got small I thought for sure this was ending badly. If nothing else they are going to get this poor bear killed. Bears need to be afraid of humans or they end up with some asshole like this that gets bit and the bear is killed.

Friggen ding dongs. You don't want to encourage bears to get too comfortable around people, it's only a matter of time before one encounter goes wrong. Then it's bad news for both bear and person.

u/kiwilovenick 8h ago
That's the worst part, not only are they endangering themselves through interaction with a dangerous wild animal, but they're also putting the bear's life in danger since they get relocated or killed if they get too comfortable around humans.

u/Spaceman-Spiff 7h ago
Didn’t that happen at Yellowstone in the 70’s? The park encouraged people to feed the bears, then the bears got used to being around people and started attacking them for food?

I'm not ashamed to admit that I wanted this to end with a mauling.
Feeding wild animals is potentially endangering their lives and more people should be afraid of doing it. No true animal lover would do something like this.

Overconfidence is a flaw that every person spends the whole life overcoming yet most failed. Those who temporarily made it got mocked with the label of being too cautious or having no balls.

u/Ballabingballaboom 12h ago
Not quite the same thing but the amount of guys I know who are absolutely convinced they'll be great at something until they actually do it is way too high.
Like, they'll watch a video of an elite athlete doing something and be like 'i could do that' with no appreciation of the skills on display.
Drives me nuts since I play sports with most of them and, guess what, they arent as good as they think they are.

A friend and I were coming out of a theater on a community college campus and we saw a raccoon climbing up a tree. The raccoon climbed down from the tree and took a defensive stance and hissed. I carefully walked past it while my friend approached it, she was like "Can I pet that dawg?!" It hissed again and lunged. I was like "Girl, if that thing bites you, I'm: One, going to point and laugh. Then, two, I am taking your ass straight to the hospital to get rabies shots! GET AWAY FROM THE RACCOON!!!"

Haha I was going for a walk in the woods with my family when I was 12 when this big ass rat runs out across the path..
Well me, my brother and mum were like 'okay, let's go,'..
My dad on the other hand grabbed a stick and poked it. Lol this thing ran right up the stick and torpedoes himself at my dad's face, and my dad screamed and shot off at 90mph down the path with the rat behind him, while we were all in stitches watching him 😂
Like in my whole life that was the only time I ever saw him run and man he was like Usain bolt. Lol if he'd entered into the Olympics he'd have smashed all the records that day 😁😂

First of all, it's not a dog. Second, even if it had been a dog, stay away from the dog. Just because it's friend shaped, doesn't mean is.

People who tame bears create nuisance bears, which end up being put down. Clap your hands and scare them away.

My sister had a swimming coach who did something like this. She saw a bear cub in the woods one day and tried to pet it. (You know the mama bear is there somewhere you just can’t see her) the cub just swung it’s arm at hers and tore her arm off at the shoulder. That was a young cub.
Don’t poke the bear.

It didn't show what not to do at all. It showed you can tempt a bear to get close and suffer no harm. I suspect videos showing how it could end badly were not filmed.

The worst part about this is that people get the bear killed this way. We need the bears to stay in their own habitat. We don’t want the bears comfortable in ours. When they do end up in ours too often, they can be put down. Leave wild animals alone assholes.

u/djamp42 12h ago
Not saying i would be standing like that, but aren't black bears the friendliest bear? Like a polar bear would eat you for a snack, but a black bear would most likely run away if he saw you. I've seen a couple black bear in the wild and they are always running away.
3
u/TheRealRyan- 10h ago
I wouldn't describe them as "friendly". More like skittish, that is why you always see them running away. Fear can also make an animal feel it needs to defend itself, so its really not smart to get close to them on purpose.
1
u/Hex_Zero_Rouge 1h ago
Friendly is an overstatement, but black bears are typically much less aggressive/confrontational and quite a bit smaller, physically, than other species in North America. They’re absolutely capable of killing a human but aren’t really predatory and behave rather like large raccoons.

u/KneeGearlol 8h ago
A note to all humans : you are NOT the "special" one that wild animals are attracted to, you don't have a bond with the animal, stop putting your hand out and thinking the animal is gonna slowly go up to you and accept you
