Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4333291, member: 974"] Yes, bears are rarely aggressive. They don't want to attack you. Pit bulls generally reflect their owners. Loving owners have loving dogs. Bears are wild animals. Instinct directs their actions. Bears are hard wired to chase down anything that runs away from them. And that is often your first urge when you come across a bear. As bear/human interactions increase, and they will as the bear population rises, there are more opportunities for the event to go south. I am simply urging caution. Do not become complacent around these animals. And absolutely avoid them if possible. [/QUOTE]
