People do eat bear meat. I'm sure some just skin it and leave it but it is plenty edible.
Comment on Stephen Fry wants King's Guard to ditch bear fur
hellothere@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoBesides a POV of “killing any animal is wrong”, I don’t really see an issue. It appears to be regulated and as long as they’re maintaining the bear population appropriately why is it any different than hunting deer or killing a cow for leather?
It may be because deer and cows are used for meat as well as their hide.
I’m not sure what happens to the rest of the bear.

True, if it’s wasteful then move away from it, but then again maybe there does need to be intervention to maintain bear population anyway.

Not sure what happens to these bears but I know many Canadian hunters eat bear.
