Bears are not normally at fault in the problem encounters with people. Last year a guy was driving just outside the Smokies and he saw a bear. He stopped to get a picture - got out of his car and approached the bear. It was a sow with cubs. And then the guy's little dog jumped out of the car and ran at the bear. The bear promptly pinned the dog. The guy then attempted to free his dog. The bear took a swipe, and then took off. The guy was hurt, but it was minor. The powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, decided the bear had to be shot, which they did after hunting it down with dogs. My vote would have been to shoot the stupid guy.
