I think you have that backwards.
I think people have lost their fear of the outdoors, by us giving animals human characteristics.
Hey, if you have a gun, knife, hand grenade, what ever and you are attacked by a bear, you have a right to defend yourself. Just like if you get attacked by a person. There are even stipulations, that if someone attacks you, have have a right to defend yourself. And if the attacker dies, you can be found not at fault, as it was self defence.
What I don't agree with is going out and hunting down and killing the bear after the fact.
