I'm honestly worried about the encroachment on bear habitat. The population of bears are steadily increasing and they are losing their natural fear of humans.
It's unquestionable that humans and bears ate each other throughout our own existence, but due to our lazy civilized, secure, lifestyle, I don't think we would be prepared for this.
And no, not all attacks provoked, there are bears that actively kill humans out of predation. Now it is true that only 3 people die from bears every year, but that's only because we kill the bears before they kill another victim. If we didn't do that, hundreds of people would die from bears every year. They are also very smart, bear spray and yelling doesn't always work on them

Oh I get it, "what about crocodiles hippos and sharks? They kill more people, right?" Simple, stay out of the water, but I don't know you can be prepared for a bear attack
