  1. Bears are extremely intelligent, but that's also part of what makes them so dangerous. I'm a zoologist, and sadly this clip is lying to you, the bear was most likely dispatched and not captured/relocated. Brown bears are not endangered, and the DoF&W cannot accept the risk of these highly lethal animals learning that humans = food. As this was a repeat behavior by the bear, he would have been put down. He will continue to seek out people no matter where they put him, and it's not worth the time, resources, or risk of bodily harm to capture and relocate a problem bear.

  2. This is really bad. I'm a zoologist, and I can tell you that bears who become emboldened to steal like this end up shot, not relocated. Since this was a repeat behavior, it's almost guaranteed he was dispatched, not "released somewhere far away". Now that he knows that people = food, it is likely he will continue seeking out humans to steal from no matter where they put him, and bears become highly protective of their food sources. The DoF&W cannot take the risk of this animal hurting or even killing a human, so sadly, he was likely put down, not relocated.
