"I was yelling at them saying get the F** away it’s a wild animal," resident Josh Merrin told Global News. "Sorry about my language."
Videos posted on the popular social media site TikTok show some concerning behaviour with bears in the resort community of Whistler, B.C.
Videos show a bear in Whistler Village surrounded by people with their phones out, videotaping it.
The bear approaches and even lunges at some of the people but few back away and some can be seen yelling at the bear and moving toward it.
“I was yelling at them saying get the f— away, it’s a wild animal,” resident Josh Merrin told Global News.
Merrin said he was on his way to the pub when he spotted the animal.
“I was literally just down there where the Roots sign is. And there was a dozen people crowding around it… trying to get close to it so they could get video of it, which is not a smart idea, is it?”
In a statement to Global News, the Conservation Officer Service said people should never feed or approach bears.
“Feeding bears is an unlawful activity that puts the safety of people, and bears, at risk,” the service said.
