What do you think would happen if there were a type of bear that never killed or seriously injured people, but instead slapped them in the face? (lemmy.world)

It depends on what they offered us. Like if their fur was soft, sure, people would hunt them. If we could eat their meat and it was delicious, yes, we'd hunt them. If it was a challenge to kill them, they'd be hunted for sport.

We hunt many animals much more harmless than a slapping bear. We hunt fish, for god's sake.
