Where I live (BC Canada) the black bear population is estimated at 120 to 150 thousand black bears to the point for many, seeing a bear either in the urban or wild environment is more common then rare nowadays.

As the human population encroaches into bear territory, the human- wildlife conflicts occur and it is the bears who are inevitably on the losing end of the conflict.

A very large-scale problem: B.C. sees more than 20,000 human-wildlife conflicts in 2017.

Then having people like this really shows why so many bears have to be destroyed every year. IMO, the destroying should be the other way around...
