There are more and more bears there, and they are coming serious trouble to the inhabitants of the peninsula. Attacks on humans are often recorded. Sometimes fatal. In small towns, there are even special self-defense units against bears. They are joined by local hunters and generally everyone who has a weapon.
I was lucky enough to participate in the work of such a group a few years ago. We went on calls from farmers who were attacked by bears. Several particularly brazen animals had to be shot. And it was legal, documents were drawn up that each bear was killed for a reason, but because he attacked.
But I can say that it is usually small animals that behave aggressively. Large bears have their own territory, they sit where there are a lot of fish, cones and berries. But small bears, in search of food, are forced to go out to people, climb into garbage cans and approach human habitations. Sometimes it ends badly for them, sometimes for people.
