Answer 1

You don’t kill every smaller animal you encounter. Why would a bear? Bears are dangerous to us because they’re so big and powerful that they’re capable of easily killing us. That doesn’t mean they go around wanting to kill us.

Part of the problem with bears is that people have the idea that if it’s not trying to kill me right now then it must be as safe as a domestic animal. So they put themselves in a bad situation.
