The easiest solution to the moral quandary of killing a bear for “being a bear” would be to butcher the bear if you kill it. People make up the silliest rules when it comes to this stuff. “If a bear is coming to where you have arbitrarily decided you live, it should know better, so put that sucker down. If you’re travelling in the 30 square miles a bear might be jogging along, then it’s allowed to kill you and you can’t stop it, end of story.”
But no, under *no circumstances when faced with the option of a human life and a bear’s life should you choose the bear’s life. That’s ridiculous.
*exceptions made for Hitler, or Hitler equivalents
