Of course. Human stupidity is limitless, what makes you think we wouldn’t? People would get into unarmed fights with them just for social media points. And as for actually hunting, addressing your question directly, yes, that too. Some people like to shoot about anything that moves. Others might find their fur or different parts useful somehow. And you could possibly find those killing momma bears to sell their cubs as pets in the black market.

Have you heard of red pandas or trash pandas?

Hence why they stipulated no serious injury. I guess these either have excellent control and restraint or they’re talking about big hairy gay men 😉

Well Bears are fucking massive so if they slapped you without claws they still have the ability to break bones and cause other severe injury.
