6-min video, very interesting -- especially if it was in your yard!
Many bears entering human territory i.e. cities are unfortunately asking for a quick death from the authorities.
About ten years ago in La Crosse, Wis a young, black bear male entered a city park after sniffing a female bear in estrus. After it entered the park it noticed quite a few people in the park and ran up a tree. The DNR was called out to handle the situation. Since they didn't have a tranquilizer gun they decided the bear would be too dangerous to just roust it from the tree. They were afraid that the bear might run into one or some the many humans in the park watching the situation. So they shot and killed it.
The DNR took a lot of criticism from many people for killing the bear who was not threatening anybody at the time. But from their standpoint if they had just got the bear out of the tree and let it go, it might have accidentally injured some picnickers. Then they would have been held liable for allowing a wild animal to hurt citizens. Either way they couldn't win.
As it turned out a similar situation played out in Eau Claire, Wis a while later. A bear entered a human populated area/park and was killed by the DNR which didn't have a tranquilizer gun. People think all wildlife people, DNR, etc.. have tranquilizer guns. They do not. If they think a wild critter will be a danger to the public, they will kill it if possible. Wild critters don't sue for damages....people will.
