Dr. Macquisten’s advice to treat bears as just a “nuisance” is a bit dangerous.
Any animal that can weighs 500 punds and run 45 km/h can be a threat to people’s safety. If people get or have the idea that bears are just warm and fuzzy nuisances that pose no threat, I think that will spell trouble for someone sometime.
Bears can hurt you bad if you do the wrong thing at the wrong time and deserve a lot of respect.
