Henk,
The environmentalist of europe would not want these bears in the Pyrenean Mountains.
These Bears have become domesticated and they have become thieves. The bears have found out they like human food and it easier to get, they break in to house ,rip car doors off cars to get to food,they can break in to anything to get food. The problem is they eat food wrappers and all and it not good for their digestive system.
That why we carry garcia bear cans their about 8 inches in diameter round 12 to 15 inches long and made out of 1/4 inch thick plastic with a flush cap with 3 flush screws. So basically the bear can't get the food and the bear can becomes a round cylinder they roll around till the bear get frustrated or bored because they can't open the bear can to get the food.
We have to put everything in the bear can food ,toothpaste, sunscreen lotion,used toliet paper,garbage any thing that smells. It for our safety and theirs so we don't get a foraging bear ripping our tent up or us in the middle of the night.
I was just kidding when I posted to ship off these bears to other countries they would not want them.
The bears life might be in jeopardy because the citizens in that country would misunderstand the bears and kill them. We just live the bears accepted what they have become thieves we made them
that way.
