1. Poor bear. They are going to hunt it and kill it. That's policy in Montana.

Any bear that comes too close to interacting with humans will be killed.

Here in NM, they just tranquilize and relocate them.

This is bear season, along with spring. They visit humans as easy sources of food, mostly carelessly contained garbage, to break their long fast in spring and fatten up in fall. They're a lot grumpier in spring.

4. That's more humane. I really don't agree with killing the animals unless they are rabid

I can't imagine killing a bear for being a bear. It's ridiculous.
