I take it a quarter step further and have no issue killing bears to keep humans safer. Hot take if you can't see past your indoctrination, but objectively a totally reasonable position.

Killing a bear if there is a determined and clear threat of them killing humans, no matter the environment, isn't an out-there take. We trap (or kill) and release mice out of our homes to prevent disease and food loss. We kill animals like deer, elks, and moose for sport and to feed ourselves. We slaughter livestock like pigs, cows, and chickens to feed ourselves.
To "take it a quarter step further" and purposely cull bears that pose you no threat so you can play outdoorsman in their home environment is simultaneously ludicrous and the most Sliverish thing you can say.
