I hope no one is thinking that these bears are dangerous and should be removed or worse. There have always been black bears around.

Any particular words or catch phrases you should use as you "talk to the bear"?
I am people not prey?
Hey, I'm not dinner?
Sorry, I won't taste good?
Thank you for pointing out that they are not dangerous. I had no idea
So if I come across one should I just pat it like a stray dog?
I just want to be prepared!
