Reply to comment by 1DollarOr1Million in Vermont Woman Survives Being Mauled By Bear In Backyard After Shih Tzu (Dog Breed) Chases Its Cub Up Tree by Educational_Sector98

Black bears run away when you yell at them lfmao. Jist use a bear container and keep your distance from cubs. No need to shoot them.

Obviously the intention is to never have a run-in in the first place, or to scare them off if I do. But as you see here, that’s not always what happens and you can be blindsided. Bear spray would be the first choice, but if that doesn’t work, better a dead bear than a dead human. So I see it as levels of escalation. Better to have it and not need it…

Seriously, just keep your animal on a leash so they don't harass the wildlife and you are fine.
