The black bear population in America is strong and growing, often bringing normally wilderness animals into close contact with humans and their pets. This can end badly for small dogs and cats, especially if they’re left unattended or allowed to roam freely.

Should you encounter a bear, don’t run but yell, stand tall and do your best to intimidate the animal. Or take the approach demonstrated by Carl Moore in this hilarious video and … punch the bear in the face!
