It's a risk you take when you enter the wilderness.

that is true

Mother nature is awesome.

How many times does this need to happen before people realize that bears are not cute and cuddly. They are death machines purposefully designed by nature to demolish everything.

I found this Gif that goes appropriately with what you said.

I'll remove it if it's too graphic.

nah i say its not graphic enough

I feel bad for the guy, the fact you guys place animal lives over that of a human makes humanity look even worse.

I'm sure that guy didn't scare the cub intentionally. Running into bears is an unfortunate risk of hiking in Alaska (especially in June when bears are trying to fatten up for the winter). Most of the time, the bears aren't interested in you, but in a mother/cub situation anything can happen.
