A black bear was filmed eating food out of a takeout container while the person sat beside it.
Conservation officers confirm they're investigating after two people filmed themselves interacting dangerously close to bears in Whistler.
The two videos were shared on social media and caught the eye of one resident who voiced her concern on a local Facebook page. The person can be seen sitting on the same bench right beside the bear and filming. After 15 seconds, the individual stands up and continues filming the bear. The entire video lasts under 30 seconds.
The service understands that residents and visitors in Whistler are accustomed to seeing black bears; however, the complacency shown in the footage can lead to escalating bear conflicts that can put people and the bears at risk, the statement said.Anyone who has any information about the people involved in the videos is asked to call 1-877-952-7277.
