[Shadow]

One interesting article of it how people create problems, when they kind of forget that wild animals should be respected as wild animals. Article in Russian language from June 2018. Things happened in the area of Komi Republic, Russia.'

Quotes:

"Who is the boss in the taiga? Why do bears go to people?"

"For a month now, clubfoots have been walking along the central streets of Pechora, and in the Udora district, the owner of the taiga attacked a man."
"The first videos about how drivers feed the toptygins on forest roads near Pechora appeared on social networks at the end of May. The predators calmly walked around the cars, sniffed and stopped - who would treat them with something. It got to the point that one of the traffic police inspectors fed the bear from his hands."


"Panic gripped the city when the owners of the taiga began to visit people: bears were seen in the parking lot, and then on the playground. Last week, a car enthusiast's video recorder captured a bear walking along the central street of the city, next to the mayor's office at 22 o'clock. Fortunately, we have white nights now. The police had to get rid of the uninvited guest, who drove the clubfoot across the Pechora in a car with sound and light signals turned on.

At first, the toptygin was targeted only by photographers - the animals willingly pose. But now that the situation was out of control, the bears were allowed to shoot."


"According to the specialist, people themselves provoke animals - they feed them sweets, and this should never be done. Such communication with bears has a bad effect on the further life of the animal and is dangerous for people.

Until now, the meetings of the Pechora people with the owner of the taiga ended without an emergency. But in the Udora district this spring, the beast attacked a man who was collecting firewood in the forest. Toptygin scratched the man's face. For several weeks the victim has been undergoing treatment at the republican hospital."
