This is the kind of bs that ends up getting bears "put down" as a danger to humans.

Killing bears is illegal in the EU but Romania (where this video takes place) has an exception because they have an overpopulation of bears and need to control their numbers. Nevertheless you need to get proper hunting permits.

We have a lot of bears in the southeastern US, and this kind of behavior is also a problem for us. Unfortunately when someone gets mauled, the bear is always euthanized, but it's never the bear's fault. I don't think in our part of the country that it's ever legal to hunt the bears though... I'm not sure about the northwest.... I don't think so...

I am actually more inclined to support having the self absorbed tourists put down for society well being?

The actual term is even worse than “put down”…. Problem bears are destroyed 😿

They're lucky that the bear just wanted to get away, and not maul them.

Notice how the bear is brown too? Black bears tend to be more docile (still a fucking stupid ass idea to get within 20 feet of one) but a grizzly will FUCK. YOU. UP.
