Life cut short for a male grizzly bear! Grizzly bear

- Male bears right out of the gate have it tough. Mom usually shows it tough love especially when it is time to part ways when they reach 2-3 years of age. These young males will float around in their mother's territories visiting all the locations she taught him, but he is on borrowed time. He will have to leave. Like females especially with cubs, these adolecent bears choose to stay around high human activity knowing large dominant male bears won't enter these areas, using us to shield themselves. At this age these bears have no status or rank and will be ran off by females and potentially killed by males. Usually they start to wander off at the age of 3-5 once they have put on enough size and weight, hopefully with the ability to compete with the big boys. Their travels usually take them to premium food sources much richer than you find in their mother's home range, but sometimes it leads them to becoming opportunistic when it comes to attaining foods. Many males end up being destroyed for getting into garbage, fruit trees, livestock, etc, it is how they become massive and the most dominant bears. It creates human/wildlife conflict issues with the bear losing out in most cases.
For me, this bear, GB# 163 was an amazing bear to work with for his first three years, but as soon as he traveled into BC and to the townsite of Elkford I knew he was on borrowed time. I drove 400km to check on him and his growth was huge, he was the biggest three year old I had seen. There was tons of images and videos of him climbing fences to feed on fruit trees, or flipping garbage cans, feeding on roadside carcasses not cleaned up, many times with another bear. With no actual bear aversion management I volunteered to come work him out of town knowing I could, but politics and provincial borders kept that from happening. Like so many other bears his fate was doomed and a decision was made to have him destroyed. I got the sad news that went along with the news GB# 162, also a male from our area in Alberta, followed that route down the Elk Valley and was struck and killed by Sparwood, as well as GB# 148, a Banff/Bow Valley female grizzly who was shot after being relocated in BC, part of the province's last hunts before it was officially closed. 2017 was rough on the bears of the area.
Awww... What a well done and nice video documenting the short life of this magnificent bear.
Thanks for putting this together and sharing this out so we could all appreciate him. RIP to Grizzly 163.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching them run is crazy. They haul the mail, even uphill.
A really enjoyable video. Thanks for making it, and all the time you spent in the woods finding the bears to video! Five plus gold stars!
Nothing at all to do with an imaginary god, this is all about nature.
@@sq6529 everything evolved to what it now is from evolution and evolution is still happening.
Rip 163 , you were a good boy
No, he wasn't. He was a stupid bear and paid the price for it. Darwin.
He was a good bear. It is sad they didn't try to do more to discourage these bears! After all it is their space we have encroached so they really deserve our every effort to live in harmony with them! Saying it was "euthanized" makes it sound less tragic than the actual slaughter of an innocent bear just for doing "bear" things! 😢😭
@@keykattrudelle8227 No, it is not "their space". It is our space and they are the ones encroaching and causing trouble.
I have zero interest in trying to live in harmony with large predators of any species because it never works. Tree huggers want us to back down to these predators and the predators want to destroy our property and eat us if they are given the chance.
That might work in your little tree hugging world but it does not work in mine. I am too practical.
The best means of discouraging these bears is a shotgun. Shoot all the dumb ones on sight and the smart ones will make a serious effort to avoid all humans and human habitation.
A very sad ending for such a remarkable Bear.
He didn't die. He was in the film last second.it was the bear that led em into people's yards towards the end of this video.#163 is thriving from what I gather
@@markalan8017 Yes, sadly he was euthanized. The last statement ) on the upper right of the screen) says the short life of a bear, referring to #163.
Do people not know how to erect fenced walls and gates. Do they think the own the whole place?
@@smokescreen2146 DO U REALLY THINK A FENCE OR GATE IS GOING TO KEEP A GRIZZLE OUT/OFF OF YOUR PROPERTY
@@JomoDaMusicMan Yes, because I don't go around planting fruit trees in bear land. Fool.
Actually saddened me
He was Soo beautiful he was not even bad bear 🐻
This video was amazing 👏
thanks!
Amazing, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Such a sad end.
I didn’t know grizzly males would buddy up with another male. Does that provide any protection from large males who would kill or chase them off?
I’m used to being around & sometimes accidentally close to black bears near our cabin in northern Maine or while fishing beaver ponds. I respect black bears & leave when they are near, but I view grizzlies as much more dangerous.
It’s disappointing that there wasn’t a way to relocate that bear away from people
Damn shame really. A bear being killed for being a bear.
@@tima.478 Exactly my thoughts!
Are male grizzly bears gay or bicurious? Why was he hanging with that older bear?
So beautiful they are. ❤️🇺🇸🦋🙏🦋🇺🇸❤️
Thanks
Welcome
He should NEVER have been euthanized! The bears were there first! Rotten people!
Maybe get a lightweight tripod for keeping those long shots steady
I am so saddened beyond words by the needless killing of this majestic animal. They were here first and part of God's plan. They do what comes naturally, the way they were created to live and exist. Yet, we won't give them ample space to live out their natural lives. 🐻🐻🙏🏻🇺🇸😥
I'm with you on that👍🏼
Amazing video.
But, let's be straight. He was not 'euthanized', he was murdered.
Yes. He was.
Animals put on earth for us too eat clothe us and our enjoyment
Great video!
What a nice zoom you have! What is it ?
Sony handheld video camera with a 60x zoom
Why couldn’t the bear be relocated?
My good brother have u seen the grizzly fight for half of an hour BRUTAL!!!!!
Thanks so much for this story. While it's Tragic one can't interfere with what Mother Nature tells him to do. It's a pity that British Columbian Officials didn't contact the US Fish & Wildlife to have us go get him with a tranquilizer gun and bring him back home but I also understand the cost of such things. Given where he was frequenting (around humans I understand....I hate it but understand just wish a little more attempt at discouraging human / Grizzly interaction wasn't a viable option for him)
Our only hope is he was able to pass on his genetics to the gene pool in Yellowstone so his lineage will walk those lands for years to come.
Wait, how do you know this was a Yellowstone bear? BC is kind of far from Yellowstone.
Like us ... imagine the animals living as one ... 🚶
Why wasn’t he able to be relocated??
I have watched a handful of these videos. What I wonder is, when they are constantly look at camera, are they thinking" hey, I smell the guy thats always taking my pic"? They are so beautiful. I live outside mpls,MN and once every couple yrs I get black bears walking thru. Had 1 walk past open door, 1 raid bird feeder. Had 1 huff at me, at my open BR window, 3' from my face at abt 2am. Just a screen between my head & his head, that scared me(black bear abt 300 lbs, best guess) . Other weird thing is I have Newfoundland Dogs, they sleep in the BR, they didn't make a sound at this bear!
I don't think my Newfies have missed alerting me to every single deer, raccoon, possum that comes on property, but a black bear, nope not going to tell mom.
A bear is always assessing the threat, and whether it can get away or if it's in a comprimising situation that it would have to fight. I call them a bubble animal which most of us are. This means each bear has it's own personal space it feels comfortable in, could be 5m or 100m. If this space is invaded in one way or another the bear's fight or flight will engage. In my case, with me dealing with these bears all the time every day like I used to, they know me, my truck and my voice personally. They watch us intently because we are the ones who discipline them with noise or a low pain stimulas if they get into particular situations around people. So once you build a relationship with bears that frequent your area, in most cases just talking to them will have them bolting for the trees away from human activity. Even when you want the bear to remain and you manage the people and get them to leave, the bear will pick me/us out and automatically leave. It's all a part of grizzly bear aversion and human/wildlife conflict management.
@@TheBearGuyCanada your red print is crappy to read can't really tell what u r saying !
Soooo canada dosent have eneough deep woods to relocate him 2? I find that hard 2 believe
If anyone knows, what is the survival rate of Bears? With Lions, I've read anywhere from 3 out of 4 to 7 out of 8 don't make it to adulthood. Those aren't good odds. I was hoping that most of the bears were able to become adults.
So there was no other option?! Relocation e.g.?!
What was keeping them from trapping him and relocating him
Where I live a 350lb bear is huge. Ok you can laugh now.
350 - 400 pounds is a mature females bodyweight for an interior grizzly prior to den. A male is 500-700 as a norm.
That’s a sad story.
What a sad end, he was just so social an animal.. we had bears in Banff that were in town a lot and never bothered anyone, Ginger for one! So sad when they are destroyed!
How sad 😔 he was a magnificent creature that should have grown up to be king of his domain!!!
Yeah, but interject humans...game over for pretty much everything in the natural world.
It's heartbreaking he survives a male grizzly attack, only to be killed by humans. It's sad to think that had those humans secured the attractants properly, the outcome could have been different. Sometimes we kind of suck.
Biggest obstacle in bear management is the people, bears are true to nature.....people operate out of entitlement and greed and expect bears and all wildlife to adapt.
Very, very sad!
I love them so much!
7.5 BILLION people, I think we save a few Grizzly Bears and spare a few billion people along the way.
☑️
People, you need to learn how to coexist with wildlife, how about putting them first for a change!
💔💔🐻
Euthanized means putting him out of his misery. He wasn't in misery. The homeowners were in misery. He was killed.
Euthanized definitely has a broader meaning depending on which meaning you take. But you are right, basically putting to sleep humanely. Sometimes the word I believe is used to distant themselves from the horrible unnatural act that they had to commit or perform because or an order. Either way, this bear was one of my favorite to work with, and I would've loved to had the chance to see if I could've altered his life choices when he crossed provincial borders. Was not impressed when I got the news.
RIP
I guess not enough money for relocation.
Heartbreaking. 😢
Guess he won't be bothering anymore home dwellers.
THIS WAS LIKE RREADING A REALLY LONG BOOK THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO READ AFTER ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! PSSSHHH
I wouldn't care if they ate on my fruit trees... we don't pick half of them. There's like over 20 orange trees here. I wouldn't contact wildlife people if I saw them doing it. We only have black bears where I'm from.
Because they will have run ins with humans. You can't let grizzlies roaming backyards dim bulbous.
@@haylobos8261 I didn't say grizzlies...I said black bears.
@@CajunAdrienne You didn't write it properly. And black bears can hurt people too. You can't have powerful wild beasts in human areas. Wildlife and people don't mix.
😭😭😭
why the tags
Nice video, but oh so tragic.
Such a beautiful creature. It's so sad that humans don't care enough to prevent unnecessary euthanasia of animals being wild and free. They should be fined for failing to heed the signs
FINED AND JAILED! 1ST OFFENSE!!😡
So we should live a throttled life? Everything is going to die one day. You people act like we are going to continue living as a species forever. One day the human race will be a memory of the universe. Fines and jail!? 😂
@@timchamberlin9280 no shit, there's a difference. And?
@@timchamberlin9280 another person putting feelings over facts. Good luck.
@@timbodnar6711 Your lack of respect for nature says a lot about you.
Too sad😢😢
The more bear videos I watch the more, I think we have to many. Seeing the large males kill the cubs has made me realize these things eat anything that gives them the opportunity. They are awesome, but we need to thin them out, in the lower 48 we need to be able to hunt them again. This would be the best way for the larger ones to end their lives
It a shame official’s would euthanize a bear for being a bear….!!!!
PEOPLE SUCK….!!!!🐻🐾💕🌈🐻🐾
Every late summer into fall the bears move in because the same issues are never addressed, it's frustrating.
Well that was sad!
Wie traurig..Man kann Eisbären umsiedeln, warum nicht auch diese bewundernswerten Braunbären? Mit abschiessen ist man immer schnell dabei, anstelle sich Gedanken zu machen, wie man es anders machen könnte. So schöne Tiere..und sie hätten noch lange zu leben. Danke für die Information und das Video. Was hat Ihre Kamera für einen Zoom? Viele Grüße
Das hat "The Bear Guy", der diesen Film gedreht hat, in der Videobeschreibung erklaert, allerdings in Englisch. Er arbeitet in der Provinz Alberta fuer die dortige Provinzregierung an exakt dem, was Sie beschreiben: Baeren und Menschen auseinanderhalten, fast immer ohne Baren abzuschiessen, meisstens sogar ohne Umsiedlungen; selbst Umsiedlung ist, wo es gut funktionierende Baeren-Arbeit gibt, bereits die Ausnahme. Nur leider ist dieser Baer ueber die Grenze nach Britisch-Columbia ausgewandert (Wandern ist ein voellig normales Verhalten fuer junge maennliche Baeren), und in dem speziellen Tal gab es leider zu dem Zeitpunkt keine wirklich funktionierende Baerenarbeit. "The Bear Guy" ist zwar hingefahren und hat angeboten, das Noetige zu tun, um diesen Baeren aus dem dortigen Dorf wegzulocken (obwohl das ausserhalb seines Zustaendigkeitsbereiches war und er dazu regelmaessig um die 200 Kilometer mit dem Auto dorthin haette fahren muessen) und dem jungen Baeren behutsam ein besseres Revier zu zeigen, hat aber leider nicht die notwendigen Genehmigungen bekommen, und die Behoerden vor Ort haben diesen Baeren stattdessen abschiessen lassen. Leider. Letztlich mangels Ressourcen fuer Baerenarbeit und guter Organisation derselben.
@@IngoSchwarze Hallo, vielen Dank fürs übersetzen. Sie haben recht, da bin ich mit der Übersetzung meiner Englischkenntnisse gescheitert. Und der Google Übersetzer ist manchmal nicht hilfreich. Wie oben beschrieben, danke für die Mühe, jetzt weiß ich Bescheid. Viele Grüße und schönen Restsonntag
So so sad !! 😭😭😭
How sad that he was euthanized for people building on land he would be able to look for food on. Sad he couldn’t be relocated or the people be told to secure their trash.
Down in BC where it happened, it probably breaks down to a lack of funding and manpower, a common problem when government conservation agencies are associated. I know personally I couldn't justify euthanizing an animal unless for humane reasons. But I guess if they had grizzlies running through the streets and into backyards, with no way of getting the people to clean up there garbage, remove fruit trees and attractants, and no crew to trap and relocate the bear in this case, than I can see where upper management says just deal with it. It breaks my heart cause it's a bear I put a ton of time and effort into while he was north in Alberta, but that's the difference, we had dedicated funding for a bear program with a skeleton crew that could work and condition the bears. We didn't relocate or euthanize as a norm. Unfortunately other locations are and were strapped for cash and handcuffed at the same time.
How sad that there are so many grown children. Time you graduated teddy stage and keep it zipped with the nun cens. Especially you. You are a grandma now.
I'm just going to have to stop watching stories like this because it upsets me too much we are destroying our wildlife
What amazes me we worship the creation rather then the CREATOR. Romans CHAPTER 1 starting at verse 18.
Why not just relocate bear 163? Does the bear really have to die? This is bad.
If you look back on this comment section I have described the issues with relocation. The first issue is in this region they haven't a dedicated team of bear specialists that can work with the bears using aversion. This will teach the bears and keep them alive. But this takes the manpower and the funding to fill those positions, and the BC government doesn't have either in place. So fast forward to relocating, they once again don't have the funding or manpower to do so. The other issue is relocations don't always work, in many cases a bear takes its problems with it and gets shot, or they killed by other resident bears, or starves, or tries to return home. That means to relocate a bear you have to take it really far away, and hopefully far from livestock or communities, or from the reason it got removed for. This has become hard to find these areas. Lastly, from years of relocations, these areas have been saturated with relocated bears and those areas are carrying at capacilty. As a last ditch effort and given a bear somewhat a chance, I'd still rather see it moved......but unless there are agencies with plenty of funding and manpower, bears will unfortunately meet their doom. Each capture and relocation can turn into $10000 plus, especially if a helicopter is needed.
Unacceptable. Things need to change
How can you see a tagged bear and still euthanize him, that's really sad
Couldn't they have trapped him and relocated him to another area? Seems like such a waste of life just cause he wandered into a place where humans reside.
Not right at all. All things deserve to live!
So he went into a yard and eat fruit and u killed him for it 🤔 damn makes no sense at all.
It's what happens when a community doesn't adopt proper measures or bear smart programs. Grizzlies in backyards and getting into human trash is not a great recipe. It was a sad ending to a young bear that I worked since he was cub of the year. But the young males wander and get into the easy foods to bulk up so they can compete in the back country with the big boys. Once he crossed provincial borders it was out of our hands. I volunteered to travel there to apply bear aversion to him but wasn't allowed. Something had to be done, I was sure hoping this wasn't the outcome.
@@TheBearGuyCanada sorry for loss he was beautiful
Its a pity thst nice animal has to die just because of people...
Why not catch and bring back in nature, where no people are ?
Why kill ??
Is there a certain age or size where bears can’t be relocated ? $$ ? Euthanizing such a magnificent animal seems like such a waste. Poor bear was just trying to live. Sad… RIP #163
Time and resources play a huge role on what can be done, and if the politicalleaders don't emphasize the importance of bears and wildlife, this stuff will unfortunately happen. It really bothered me as I invested a ton of time into this bear and it ended without myself having an opportunity to help.
As for your question, any bear can potentially be relocated but if it is deemed a problem bear or has a history of undesirable behavior, than the issue becomes.......you can't relocate your problems for someone else to deal with. What many don't realize is there are very few isolated areas to take bears that aren't close to communities or are far enough away which means more money. Where relocations don't work is many bears try to return home. The other problem is, they are attacked and even killed by bears to where they are taken. So the success rate is not high. The best option is still having bear specialists who are highly qualified in aversion to work with bears, teaching them as they go. The other thing is as humans, we have to clean up our acts and adapt, it is our sloppiness that these bears are getting in trouble and being euthanized.
@@TheBearGuyCanada Thank you for the explanation and knowledge that you’ve shared. Most of all we appreciate what you do thank you 👊👍
All because he loved eating fruit...what a waste of a beautiful bear.
Sad
The speed those bears went up that incline, and seemingly increased their stamina and power the further they ran. At that weight to run like that is absolutely astonishing
Many people think that bears are slow going uphill. LOL.
keep in mind that was playing. they can keep that up for miles
@@ElementUup511 yep ur absolutely right. I took my kids to this natural type of zoo in northern Michigan and they had a Siberian male we were able to stand two feet from him. He was so chill, but in a matter of a tenth of a second he went from eyes closing relaxing to 10-15 feet up the tree right by him. I’ve never seen anything move so powerful and fast.
If you want to know how fast a bear can get to yah just watch a horse run. It's very similar!😂 People look at a 600lb bear and think sluggish. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but they are brown lightning. 2 to 10 people are ripped up every year. Because people under estimate these highly intelligent freakishly strong animals.
@@markalan8017 uhhhh, your response is all the info I need, thank you very much lol
Why are people so fkn ignorant and leave food around
It's a great pity that animals always pay for human negligence.🐻
It is sad. Elkford is surrounded in the forest. They know better. I even remember signs posted in town years ago telling people to keep attractants secured properly.
@@rw7594 they should jail and HEAVILY fine the ppl who cause this and not kill the bears! Theyre punishing the wrong party! It makes me angry when they do that!😡
@@rw7594 ,h by
What? That bear went there on it's own. Humans aren't responsible for everything.
Why
Why couldn’t he be relocated? Seems to be a better option than putting him down. Great video in the short life of the beautiful bear
I think once they learn these habits they can’t be un-learned. Wherever you put them, they’ll seek out habitations and be a danger to the people living there.
Beautiful he was
Right I said something similar just makes me mad I had a naboir that put there dog down because one eye was going blind the vet said to them so they did that and I stop talking to em
That was a beautiful video, such a sad end! If bears are foraging where humans now live, doesn't that mean it was once the bears territory? Aren't we the ones who have encroached on their space? Humans are so arrogant. We should do all we can to minimize these sad and negative outcomes!
Costly plus relocating just puts the bear in ANOTHER bear's terriorty and that bear will end up being killed. A lot of them will go back to their lands pretty quick too.
I absolutely love all of these videos. Outstanding job presenting these magnificent creatures. Thanks for keeping these coming. On a side note, why couldn't the bear just be relocated? It seems tragic that such a healthy and as you put it, good natured and "not a bad bear" was put down. I guess I don't understand all the nuances involved, but damn.

@@TheBearGuyCanada In the modest sense, you need 2 guys, tranquilizer and a vehicle to move the bear to the different location. How this can be so difficult task for a human being.
@@farmari87 ,relocating a bear isn't just taking it up the road, it will just return to the exact location. Many times it involves anywhere from 400-1000 km away from the initial location. I know of one bear that was relocated for killing cattle only to be back killing cattle the following season on the same ranch, he was moved 1100km. Because you are trying to remove it from areas with human activity that means going somewhere remote, sometimes involving a helicopter at the end. It is not a cheap thing to do if you have programs or agencies that are restricted to a hard budget.
@@TheBearGuyCanada The part that involves "people cleaning up their trash" and such... these people should be fined the 1st time and then given 30 days jailtime-NO questions asked! Why don't the PEOPLE ever get in trouble for this heinous crap!? Causing the death of a good natured, young and healthy bear NEEDS to start coming with CONSEQUENCES! OTHERWISE, we might as well put them on the endangered species list and just freaking sit back as we willingly watch them VANISH! You have more heart and tolerance than I do... I couldn't just watch this continuously happen. For the love of christ..... anyway- thanks for delivering such great work. Great to see such awesomeness turn to sh*t and nothing MAINLY thanks to HUMANS.... I can't watch anymore. Unsubbed... only because I can't stand to watch such a waste. Please provide a way we can change the laws..something we can all sign...well if people gave a crap and could get their lazy asses to just move their fingers a little and sign. Who am I kidding though?? Yea.. it'll never happen. My surrounding Americans are just too lazy and useless..... just look at what the Country has become right now... our forefathers would sh*t their pants and laugh at the lack of camaraderie.
@@ThatTaRaGiRL Instead of scaring the bear away with loud sounds and firecrackers like the natives do, they took the easy way out with guns and needles. Canada for you.
First time watching one of your vids. Thank you , great stuff. Didn't know GBs were so social. Sad what happened to GB 163!
#163 so beautiful. 😢💜
Thank you for this video.
Thank you too
I know how this story makes Me feel.... can't imagine how devastating learning of this would've been for YOU?!?
It's a sad thing when a beautiful bear dies at the hands of Humans, for the safety of Humans, for no other reason except a bear being a bear searching for food.
And of course he pays the ultimate price for having HIS natural habitat constantly infringed upon... 🤔
It's not surprising this happens but it's still disturbing, and I can imagine after following and looking out for this young Bear #163 for his entire life... that hearing this news bothers you deeply.
All you can do is take solice in knowing he was a Happy bear, and a Good bear... and because of You, the world now gets to see this too. 👍👍 Well done mate.
The politics that govern bear management are so frustrating, especially with provincial borders get in the way as well. This didn't sit well with me but my hands were tied. When the top makes decisions, they don't listen to those in the field who are at the bottom.
I understand that some species have to be kept under control for many reasons but if it was left up to me to kill them they would not get killed.....
Unless it was life or death situation ....
This was a sad story but it's life in this world as we know it now....

Thanks for watching, it was not the news I wanted that day. put a lot of work in with this bear.
Sad ending to a magnificent animal.
they are so athletic. anyone who has seen a really wet bear, can see they aren't really fat, just have fluffy hair. it's all powerhouse muscle. they are super athletes.
Built for the kill
quite a unique video, how did you track him? Did he have a RFID tag or whatever they tag cattle with? I lived in Alaska 28 years. The mature males always seem to avoid people but the young ones would walk right in to your camp and they liked to work the uninhabited cabins. They tagged a bunch of bears in Anchorage and published a map in the local paper showing all their amblings. People were surprised that brown bears were in the heart of the city going under the hwy in tunnels built for joggers and skiers. Black bears, on the other hand, want to be your best friend and will never leave you if they get a free meal.
I live in upstate NY and black bears are MORE likely to chase you for food (YOU being the food source) than grizzlies..... a grizzlie will typically only attack to guard it's kill, guard it's young, or neutralize you if they feel you're a threat.... that's why the old saying stands true: if it's brown, lay down (play dead and they will be more likely to think they neutralized their perceived threat and go away) and if it's black, FIGHT BACK... as they will NOT go away and will eat you ALIVE! PLEASE remember this! Say it with me now- If it's brown, lay down, if it's black, fight back! lol This could very well save your life one day! It did mine! 👍🏻
Poor guy. R.I.P. bear. He did nothing wrong.
Human encroachment upon more and more wild areas. Simply puts many Bears at risk. I understand if a Bear attacks a person. It may need to be put down. Yet for simply doing what a Bear does? Foraging for food in Apple / fruit orchards they run the risk of being shot. We have to learn how to coexist with the wildlife around us. 💪🏼
Yeah, ok, but we really can’t leave them in the wild, we need another solution
R.I.P. #163. Such a beautiful bear.
We who watch these excellent videos should share them widely. People need to be educated, especially the ones who are fortunate enough to live in this beautiful place. It's still amazing how many people are ignorant and careless enough to attract bears and put them in danger.
Please share, thank you!
Agreed!
You don’t have to attract any Bear for it to destroy or kill. Wake up ignorant child and stop commenting if you have ZERO EXPERIENCE with bears.
It’s so incredibly sad that humans have to destroy everything beautiful
Yup & I totally agree with you 🙏🏾😞
Agreed! "Unsecured attractants and fruit trees" are actions that can be managed!
VERY true unfortunately 😢
Watch a bear eat an animal alive if you want to see the absence of the beautiful
Humans happiest when destroying things. Power without responsibility.
I don't get it. Couldn't they relocate him? Or scare him away with bottle rockets shot at them like they do with polar bears. He was just being a bear.
That is so unfair. It's always the bears that pay the price for stupid people!!
A mountain community in today's age, there is no reason it isn't a bear smart community, attractants should be managed and bear proofed. It sets up bears to fail and for wildlife management to have to make terrible decisions.
@@TheBearGuyCanada you're right, they should know better by now. My sister lived in Elkford in the late 70's when it was still a thing to head to the dump to see bears. It sure makes me sad and I wish he would have stayed away. 😔
Very disturbing. We can build farther into the formerly wild areas without a problem. The bear paid the ultimate price for being himself, without any offensive behavior.
I hate bears
Perhaps wrong channel than.
I totally enjoyed watching your video. Bears remind me so much of big playful puppy dogs. It's amazing how they retain their family bonds. His demise broke my heart for him and for you too!! It's hard when there's nothing one can do to save wildlife, especially when we have a bond with them and know they are good. 💔
So true!
Not easy being so cute and helpless, sweet mama bear can only do so much. Wish i had a big land and they can all live there protected.
How sad that BC and Alberta can't work together in cases like this. Politics be damned.
Sad but the reality is bears and people cannot exist in the same space, one has to go. If you're hiking in the bears territory and don't have a gun/bear spray or both, its you that getting put down.
People need to stay OUT of the bear's house and let them live in peace.
If a criminal broke into someone's house and got shot, that would be the criminal's fault, wouldn't it?
@@danni1993 There is no bear house. They are critters. Stop spowting nun cens lou knee.
It's a shame that killing bears is always the go to solution. People leave stuff outside that attracts them,then complain. We all have to share this planet but unfortunately humans are greedy animals
That is so sad! There are simply to many of us on this planet. Also, because of that fact, we need to make every possible effort to deter grizzly bears from areas of human habitation so it doesn’t come to this outcome.
If any human says they will treat you humanely, run like Hell.
Why didn't they relocate him?
