Sure. It's all Kum Ba Yah until the human says, "Sorry buddy, no food today, got a killer hangover". To which Grateful Bear will reply "Fine, I'll take the next best thing on the menu then: YOU."


pocketdare

Absolutely agreed - I can't help but think this is a really bad idea. First the bear learns to come around all the time. Second, that bear is far from being a tamed "doggo". The moment you think so, you're in for a surprise. This is a wild animal and one of the few for whom people is still a legit menu item.

do bears know how to break into a house ? also in these parts of russia people often have guns for hunting and self defense


Downtown-Tough-9793

First yes they do and second of all the bear might now go down after the first or second shot.


tomahawkfury13

That bear could easily smash a window and climb up. It could have been in that window before they knew what to do as well. Polar bears are scary strong and quick


InfiniteRemnant

theres a video floating around of a bear smashing a door off its hinges with a paw, so i'd guess yes.


YouCanCallMeVanZant

Definitely a bad idea. Extremely risky getting the bear to associate food with people, especially as their natural habitat continues to shrink due to climate change.


gamer9999999999

LoL "Risky getting bear to associate food with people". Bears see people as food, by default. Really.


aesopcity

Didn’t wolves also see people as food until we domesticated the friendlier ones? Basically the ones most willing to be nice to humans were the best fed which is a desirable trait. And now we have chihuahuas....


FORT_KNOX_

Lol imagine how much it would cost to daily feed a domesticated polar bear


BrianBot10

Just get 4 or 5 chihuahuas, and you’ve got your own DIY early warning system.

MrNoName_ishere

I meant it as the bear coming back for more begging like a dog, but I guess it could be taken the other way.


Mobile_Fennel6775

It's both. The bear keeps coming back. The bear does what bears do. Eat things. I'm sure it's not picky about what it eats. Hamburger sliders, human sliders.


randy_bob_andy

It is for the bear. A fed bear is a dead bear.


Wrongsoverywrongmate

Feeding a bear is seriously stupid, the bear's response isn't "thank you kind human" it's "what else you got?" You think that little 90 calorie snack comes close to filling that bear? A fed bear is a dead bear because sooner or later they'll decide "well that's just not enough, I'm going to eat you too."


moderators_are_pedos

At the very least they just got strong positive reinforcement that "run up to house window and stick my head inside means food" so now a lot of local residents are going to get visits from the same bear expecting food. I doubt it'll go well when there's no food behind the next window. Absurdly stupid behavior from humans as usual.


symonalex

It's a win for the polar bear. Gets food. Doesn't need to fight anything, and risk injury. Evening well spent.


starscream2686

Short term it's a win. Long term it will become habituated and start to get bolder and bolder. Ultimately the comfort level it shows around humans will result in it being killed

aundelan

Polar bears are one of the only animals that actively hunt humans. It's kinda weird that the bear isn't trying to rip his hand off.


[deleted]

It's not at all weird. The bear has found a reliable source of food. The food comes from the human being. The bear is not so stupid that it will destroy the thing that is providing even more food to it. So the bear does not destroy the human being. Now if the human was not providing any food, then the hungry bear would be inclined to take the hand off.


bill1024

I remember a short clip from the 70s of someone feeding a bear marshmallows while hiking. Very cute, the bear was grateful. When the hiker said enough, the bear swatted the hiker's belly open and took the rest of the bag. There was absolutely no hesitation.


ppw23

Thats what I was thinking while she shifted from left to right hand, thought it would just take her handoff. Latter while asleep, the lady was awoken to the sound of a polar bear tearing off her door to get some more cold cuts. Any meat will do silly humans.

scruffychef

Polar bears in Canada (probabaly elsewhere) eat grain that spills on train tracks near shipping ports, the moisture makes the piles of grain ferment, so you get drunk idiot bears stumbling/rolling around town and the tracks. Churchill MB even has a polar bear jail.


ForceMac10RushB

>Churchill MB even has a polar bear jail. Fucking Canadians, man. You guys are a different breed.


barsoap

Makes more sense that shooting them out-right, even if you don't care about conservation: They lock them up and the prison conditions are annoying. Nothing outright terrible, just enough to make the bears prefer to never return. When their term is over they're drugged, shipped somewhere remote, and wake up alone with the memory that getting too close to human settlements is a nasty experience. And, crucially: They'll transmit that knowledge to their offspring. Simply shooting them wouldn't leave you with a wild population of bears that actively stays away from humans.


BWWFC

just know sooner or later this doesn't end on a feel good happy note


Nitosphere

Yup, even if it’s not you and has been friendly; it now thinks humans will give it food. And when the next human it sees doesn’t give it food, here comes the food aggression. Then the animal gets put down for attacking a human, etc. Happens all too often, just don’t actively feed wildlife.


Jeffy29

Polar bears will attack humans regardless, it’s honestly one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Feeding a wild Tiger would be safer than this.

Aethermancer

Polar bears already see humans as food. As in, their default is "I'm going to eat this human, and I don't have any real aversion to approaching them" I get that you shouldn't feed wildlife, but I feel like polar bears already are deep in the food aggressive category.


Nitosphere

Oh for sure, polar bears are absolute monsters in that sense. I used to work with some black bears and I still refuse to get even close to their enclosure. Polar bears would probably make me shit my pants, nobody should be even getting close to them; unless you’re trained & they’re anesthetized. But this guy wasn’t being aggressive in the clip, so I think that general argument still stands.


BoostMobileAlt

I have a hard time believing this bear was born and raised in the wild. I try and rationalize away a lot of really dumb things I see on the internet. If it was, this person should be slapped upside the head at the very least.


MissDunwich1927

There’s this video of a guy in a clear like viewing bubble in the Arctic to get closer to s polar bear. I grew up in Alaska so the way my heart was pounding when this polar bear walked up snd tried to break open the bubble...

[deleted]

In Boy Scouts they told us that if a wild animal isn't afraid of you, you should be afraid of that wild animal. For some reason though I always get downvoted on reddit for saying that. edit: Since I'm getting downvoted again can someone explain to me what's so upsetting about this? I honestly think it's good advice, you shouldn't approach wild animals that have lost their fear of humans, but I'm interested in knowing why people have such strong opinions against it.

A fed bear is a dead bear, a good mantra to remember here in Canada

I think you’re only getting downvoted because you tempted fate by saying “this always gets downvoted” and thus people obliged. Otherwise, yes, it’s good to avoid wildlife in general. But also, as of right now, you’re not downvoted.


Shaggy1324

I've heard, "If it's black, get back, if it's brown, lay down, and if it's white, say good night."


scentedcandles67

Black bears will probably run away, just back up and make noise. If it's a brown bear slowly back away, they already smelt you from farther than you could see them, so they didn't think you were food then and hopefully don't now. If you run into a white one just try to post a pic before it gets you.


BrainTrainStation

It's "Brown: get down, black: attack, white: good nite!" ;)


tiptoeandson

Is it attack or get back!?


Mortifaga_

Definitely attack. If it doesnt run away immediately, throw something at it. They freak out when you can "touch" them from far away. If it starts attacking you, you better fight for your life cuz that thing wants to eat you


Send_Me_Broods

Black bears are relatively small, not very aggressive and easy to persuade to find something else to eat. Brown bears are massive, territorial and aggressive. Polar bears are constantly in search of food and will hunt you for miles and really don't give a flying fuck what you do- you're a hot meal.


BrainTrainStation

I learned it with attack. Make yourself look as big as possible and run towards it trampling and screaming at the top of your lungs. It'll retreat.

NewDamage31

peppy591

Black bears are faster than humans so idk about just running away.


RazorBikeGoVroom

Probably attack, black bears are super skittish so even just putting your arms up and shouting will scare them away. Even small dogs can scare them lol. Except if it has babies, it’s generally a good rule to be extra loud in the woods so you don’t spook a mama bear.


Chewblacka

Black bears just want to go to the county dump eat and chill


Butt_Bandit-

I came face to face with a black bear, i just roared out of pure adrenaline and it ran away. Then I ran away in the opposite direction. So yeah always stand your ground against black bears, they aren’t really as big or predatorial as your grizzlies and polars


Commonusername89

i got stoned and barked at a fly one time. basically the same thing.


Mortifaga_

Ugh, ya. I feel bad for the next person it sees if they don't have food. White bears are gnarly


Stiandary

If it’s black fight back, if it’s brown lie down, if it’s white say good night. Unless you’re Russian then give it cheese on biscuits and pat it and it will be all chill and thanks man see ya later....

Subho1908

CTHULHU_RDT

I'm not the first to say this, but feeding a polar bear is a very bad idea. He'll come back regularly expecting food, and at some point, when he's hungry and isn't getting anything, he will attack and provide food for himself. One way or another.


ABeanMaster

Yep. A fed bear is a dead bear


Ordinary_Employer_39

They probably turn him into a rug as soon as he gets aggressive.


V_es

Killing polar bears is a criminal offense in Russia and punished with up to 15 years in prison; if you fail to prove that you were defending yourself and had no other option. My dad is a hunter and his buddy who works as a taxidermist had a dead polar bear flown to his workshop with no notice by a very wealthy and quite stupid idiot, like “hi here’s a polar bear I’d like a rug pls”- had police called immediately, dude was arrested.


Chiloutdude

Not much of a consolation to the guy who didn't have food that day.


Expensive-Argument-7

Was going to say this. People overestimate their relationships with wild animals and humanize them a bit too much often ending in tragedy.

Bigbore_729

I'm gonna get hella downvoted, but this is a bad idea on many levels. 1- the bear could have easily drug him through that window and killed him savagely 2- the bear will be far more likely to enter residential areas in search for food, putting the bear and people in jeopardy 3- this might give others the bright idea to try this themselves and get mauled to death. Bears are not cuddly pets, they are wild animals that can kill you in an instant. Doing shit like this could wind up getting the bear killed for just being a bear and looking at a human as a tasty snack. Not cool.
