A bear walks into a liquor store and asks to buy beer.
Worker says we don't sell beers to bears. Try the bar.
So the bear walks into a bar and orders a beer.....
Bartender asks the bear why he came into his bar and ordered a beer...
The horse with a long face tells the bartender to give the bear a beer in the bar
The priest, rabbi, and minister agreed

This didn't took place in Connecticut, but in July a woman managed to scare away a bear with her "mom voice."

Nice! Sometimes that's all you need to do with Bears. Poor thing, I'd be like, "Hiiiii there, let me see what I have for you". #MyTeddyBear

Grizzlies in Alaska (or any Bear for that matter) very different than Black Bears in CT. They are afraid of us. That's why "making noise" scares them.

Its those reasons why people cant understand why Bears attack because those people do something to get it mad. Be one with them!

They are not always afraid. Many different predatory attacks have taken place on humans in remote areas, but yes western bears are more dangerous. Again you trying to blame the victim because you like animals more than people. When you say "bears only attack when people do something to make them mad" you are making excuses for them. There have been numerous attacks that have taken place without provocation. They are a wild predator that even kills each other. They kill bear cubs. Why would they not kill a person if they thought they could get away with it? They have no morality. That's why grizzly mom's are so protective. It's due to male bears preying on their young.

This is the same type of argument people make when their dog attacks someone off leash. It's always the person's fault since dogs are better than people.

It's a classical projection of human psychology onto an animal. Idealize animals by projecting all of our good things about us and none of the bad things.
