From Global News.

Videos posted on the popular social media site TikTok show some concerning behaviour of people towards 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.

While the bear in the video has not been euthanized, the Conservation Officer Service said a tagged black bear with a history of conflict behaviour in Whistler Village was euthanized by officers on Sunday due to the risk to public safety.

As Grace Ke reports, the actions have wildlife experts reminding people to stay away from wild animals.
