According to the article his name was Cheeky and he seems to have been cared about.

The bear, which local residents had named Cheeky, was killed in an area known as the Great Bear Rainforest.
Jess Housty, a tribal councillor with the Heiltsuk Nation based in Bella Bella, said the charges against Stoner are "symbolically important.
"The message that I'm hearing from a lot people is justice is finally being served," she said, acknowledging Stoner has not been convicted. "The fact is, this is justice for one bear and not justice for all bears."
