I'd never put myself or a pet in a situation where a bear...or any other wild animal...might kill me or the pet. I'd never blame the bear for my stupidity in encroaching on its territory. The common-law doesn't allow you to track down, then kill, a person who may have killed a member of your family, or a friend. So, why should a bear be killed under the same, or similar, circumstances..or just for the glory and thrill of killing, which most hunters possess.
When they come down out of the forests, mountains or wilderness into an established housing area, school or similar inhabited area you can't be so nice.
