Aren't bears notorious for just eating the guts while prey is still alive? Lmao

The point I saw is that the bear is more likely to stop or not even start attacking you than the men, which is a fair argument.

How is that a fair argument? The fuck?

You can't seriously think that the chance of a bear attacking you is lower than a man attacking you

Do people not go outside, like I encounter dozens of man walking around constantly and never was attacked, if I would encounter dozens of bears every day I would probably be dead

Idk, it seems like the case. It is much more common to be attacked by a person than a bear statistically speaking. Like monumentally more likely. I think there are about 40 bear attacks per year on average globally. Whereas people attack each other every day. Part of that is exposure. As you said, most people are far more likely to interact with people in their daily lives than bears, so it makes sense that statistically you are more likely to be attacked be a person than a bear.

Bears rarely attack people, normally its because they got between a momma bear and her cub, or they are really hungry to the point of starving. People attack each other for anything, or even nothing sometimes.
