Affairs With Bears - (2018 cut) - Bear-Man Documentary

Rubber bullets, flashbangs, and teargas are just some of the unconventional methods used to teach wild bears to co-exist with humans in this short documentary about Steve Searles, the “bear whisperer” of Mammoth Lakes.

I absolutely love and adore this man. He's amazing with the bears. He has a show called Bear Whisperer. His heart and soul are beautiful.

The town of Mammoth made a big mistake I think. Steve is the one who made sure the bears and humans could live in the same town. They should have gave him what he ask for. Who's going to take on the bears now? The Mayor?

Sadly Steve it did happen again with the death of Blondie. I saw how hard you tried to save that bear. She was just out of your reach. It was so sad when that lady shot her but to see that woman officer cry and tell you she was sorry was heart breaking. I saw the pain in your eyes. But what you did after is what really got to me. The send off you gave that bear was amazing. I've never seen anyone do that for an animal. What a heart you have. I know your still out there taking care of your town and your bears. Good luck to you and God bless
