RE: A few hours hike to Scropoasa Lake in the middle of the Bucegi Mountains, Romania

Oh, I see. When you encountered the bear, did the bear do something like blocking the way? I wonder if there are domesticated bears. I don't know but they're really cute animals even though they're very dangerous.

Sort:  

Domestic bears do not exist or at least I have never heard of such a thing.
When we met those bears they were on the side of the road, they came down from the forest to the side of the road and here the tourists were feeding them, not a very well thought out thing because sometimes bears can become aggressive.

Oh, I think it's funny to imagine a domestic bear. Anyway, do all bears really attack humans in the road, I wonder.

Let's not forget that bears are wild animals and we humans are guests in their home, so sometimes they can become aggressive.
Here in Romania, there have been many bear attacks and, unfortunately, several deaths as a result of these attacks.
Bears have descended on the streets of cities in search of food, spreading panic and fear in the streets.

It's sad to think that bears are not social animals and they don't like being friends with humans. It must be a nightmare encountering bears. What I do not understand is why bears are portrayed as pets in movies and cartoons haha, at least they're domesticated there and not shown as a wild terrifying animal.

I too am sorry that bears are seen as such, but we can't fight it and we have to respect them because they are labelled as wild and dangerous animals.

Yes, that's true. It's their nature and they're not born to interact with us humans. The best we can do is not to destroy their place.

You are right, we have to respect their environment and then we will definitely not have problems.
