He could kill me in a second, and I know that. But at the same time, bears are very social animals. They will stay with mother until 3 years old. They want to have that relationship with those who raised them. We don't have to be heavy-handed with them. That will develop an aggression we don't want to have to deal with. It's all bonding and reward and his desire to please the ones he really loves. |
He's going to live 40 years. I'm 30, so we'll probably kick the bucket together. |
I have a relationship with the bear, and it's a relationship of mutual respect. To be afraid of him or him to be afraid of me would never work. |
