It's extremely rare for bears to come that close, conservation officers say, and 'that behaviour will not be tolerated.'
A man who smashed a coffee mug on the head of a charging bear in North Vancouver this week says the incident never should have been allowed to escalate so far.
Springstead felt the urge to turn and run, which he thankfully resisted, as that can trigger a bear to attack. Instead, he steeled himself, raised his arms to look big and “gave a little roar.” “I guess I got lucky,” Springstead said. “Like, one in a million. I couldn't even believe what happened.” “Everything kind of escalated over time,” he said. “Public safety is our priority and, as per our provincial guidelines, we can just simply not tolerate this kind of behaviour…. It will be put down, unfortunately.”
