This has to be a stunt by someone at the local organization, to get publicity for their save the bears group.

Seriously, who else but a professional would get that close to it?

If you are chill with bears they will be chill with you. Someone with high animal empathy could pull this off

Especially black bears. I am not advocating for anyone to get close to any kind of wild animal. Black bears tend to act more like giant raccoons than “bears” you see in movies. They are really skittish and like to go through garbage. If you don’t approach fast they don’t go into fight or flight. I’ve sat on my porch while a mom and cubs have walked by and pretty much ignored my existence.

Black bears are probably most dangerous when they've become accustomed to people feeding them, and then you don't have any food on you.

2SmoothGQ 17 points ago +17 / -0

That’s true for most animals. Why Florida has all of those don’t feed the gators signs. Some animals like Grizzlies just know they are above you in the food chain. That being said you are 110% right. “Fed bears are dead bears” for more than one reason.

Wikipedia's list of fatal bear attacks.

Only person I know of to be actually raped by a bear is still Leo DiCraprio.

I am surprised there were 11 black bear deaths in 10 years. I thought black bears killing humans never happened. TIL

Cyrus 1 point ago +1 / -0

11 in ten years is pretty much a never happens situation.

ChickNorris 9 points ago +9 / -0

this is true. They even have signs posted saying don't feed them (on the App trail) and the reason is because they get accustomed to being fed by humans and can get aggressive if they encounter humans without food to give them.

This was me in Yosemite recently. Chatting with the ranger after they weren't happy the young bears don't fear humans yet (no exposure since they were closed)

I live in Alaska. Been around more bears than I can count or care to remember. Again they are wild animals and not advocating for anyone to “fuck around”. Black bears have a way different temperament than grizzly bears and polars bears and there is a huge difference in how you treat them if you come across one in the wild. I doubt Canadian black bears are any different from the mom and cubs I had to deal with hiking last weekend.

Good thing it’s a Trump supporter. A dem would definitely try to register the bear 🐻 then harvest the vote 🗳.

Best response:

I put the sticker on him but I did not put the “caller” on him. 😂Not only did I give him a sticker I registered him to vote. There are 7 other Ashville bears registered to vote as well. A lot of his friends are asking for stickers too.

Wow what a waste of money and energy. The bear wasn't harmed at all, nor was the tracking collar. So no harm done.

Also those jerks want to fuck with some Pede who is brave enough to slap a sticker on a bear???? Idiots.

From the orginal article "Karen" said: ""We have so many places in this world to put stickers and express our political views," Chapman says. "Using a wild animal for that is cruel and inhuman. It’s not OK."

Hahaahhahaahha......anything the communists don't like is cruel and inhuman, but it caused no pain and the bear doesn't even know it is there. Unless he of course asked for the sticker himself, which I wouldn't doubt. Almost all creatures with normal brain power want President Trump for another 40 years let alone 4.

metricschiffton 5 points ago +5 / -0

If the folks from Asheville Bears are so mad, they should go rip it off the bear's collar. Chase it around in the woods, poke it with a stick to get into position, and rip the sticker off and run!

Do it... Do it!

The huge ass collar and the fact that the poor bear has big hunks of plastic screwed into its ears is great, but a sticker is so terrible we need to find the heinous criminal who did it. GTFO

And what exactly do they think they are going to do if they find the identity of this person?

Putting a sticker on a bears collar is not a crime as far I am aware. Seems like a waste of $5k that could be better put towards helping the bears.

The bear did it. This group says the tracking data is useless. They probably also don't want forest management policies used either.
