Bears in the wild are fairly 'predictable' as you say.

Once they have become habituated to humans, they become less so.

You're missing the point.

It's as if you're trying to find sense and safety in some particular beliefs about things (such as what bear are supposedly like), rather than in looking into your intentions and actions in each situation.


When some people want to control other beings, especially other people and animals, they want to do so on their own terms, regardless of the other being. And when the other being doesn't comply with those people's desires, those people accuse that being of being "unpredictable," "unruly," "bad," "neurotic," or some such. As if the other being would owe it to those people to let itself be controlled by those people, on those people's terms. And those people never question whether their desire to control the other being is justified to begin with.
 
The following is from a story of personal attack by an experienced Yukon guide and outfitter. It is well worth the read.

If you walk into a bear's territory and expect the bear to just let you be there, you deserve to be chased away, violently if needed. People chase away intruders, but bears should not? End of story.

I guess you didn't read the whole article I posted.

The injured outfitter specifically asked that the bear NOT BE HARMED because it was in a remote region and might never even encounter another human being.
He accepted that the bear was defending her cub and that he was in it's domain.

The bears that I refer to becoming habituated to humans are because we are expanding into wild habitat and we are messy, careless creatures. Conflicts arise and as you say, we should expect that because we are in their territory.

Bears DO exhibit unpredictable behavior as when the Polar bear approached a chained sled dog and only played with it instead of killing it. The bear returned several times and engaged in this behavior.

You are much like a bear sometimes in that your replies are predictably unpredictable.

My remark is merely an observation and not a criticism.

Each of us is only being true to our nature.

Have a good day. I'm elsewhere enjoying a game posted by the OP of this thread.
 
Gotta say, the right picture looks like a photoshop.
