In most situations, bears are predictable, and they are
naturally shy and submissive animals.
Understanding these ‘ bear smart ’tips will help keep bear encounters positive and free from conflict:
1/ NEVER FEED A BEAR either intentionally or unintentionally by not disposing of garbage in a bear-proof container, Bears’ keen sense of smell can detect barbecue or picnic aromas from a considerable distance.
2/ HIKE IN GROUPS shout loudly from time to time to let a bear know you are there so it can avoid you.
3/ GIVE BEARS PLENTY OF SPACE and do not approach. No one should try to entice, pet or pose for a photo with a bear. Take pictures with a telephoto lens from a distance.
4/ IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BEAR, REMAIN CALM. Back away slowly while facing the bear. Talk in a low, calm voice to the bear so that it can identify you as human and non-threatening.
5/ IF A BEAR APPROACHES YOU, SPEAK FIRMLY and hold your ground. Face the bear and look directly at it. If a black bear becomes persistent, continue to stand your ground. If you have pepper spray, prepare it for use. Do not play dead. Do not run. The bear may bluff charge. If a black bear attacks, fight back with any weapon you can find including stones or branches.

有兩點需要特別注意
1/HIKE IN GROUPS-歷史上從來未有過熊會攻擊4人以上的團體。集體行動不單在防止動物攻擊上起作用,而且在平常活動中也極為重要。我們就曾經為此付出過生命代價。
2/GIVE BEARS PLENTY OF SPACE-熊鈴的作用是在很遠的距離就知會動物,讓它們有足夠的時間迴避。正常來說,動物不願意和人類面對面,只要有足夠的提示,它們都會走開。但當進入1個‘危險距離’時,人輿動物被逼對立,動物會覺得除了攻擊別無選擇。
手冊沒有提到當灰熊攻擊時要怎樣處理。但我想你會明白如果真的發生這樣的事情,而你又只得1人的話,你可能已經不必處理了。 |
