@stephanielynn249: Things got crazy in downtown Gatlinburg. Disclaimer: I AM NOT BOOING THE MAN!!!! #gatlinburg #gatlinburgtennessee #smokymountainstennessee #bearsoftiktok #smokymountainbears
I wish people would understand that these bears get 3 chances and once they come back in town the 3rd time they have to be put down. Also red pins mean they are mean bears. Those people around you need to understand that guy with the firecracker is trying to save the bear!

People need to remember that we are guest in their home. Show respect and let them be. People will be safe if they let them be.

He’s not trying to hurt the bear, just scare him away for his own safety. ❤️they get used to humans bc they come looking for food and if they show any aggression, they will be euthanized. The less they’re around humans, the better it is for them.

Gatlinburg Deni :
You guys!!!! The guy with the firecrackers is doing the right thing. He isn't hurting the bear. The people NOT scaring the bear away is what is getting that bear killed. His days are numbered because he is too comfortable around people. There is plenty of woods with plenty of bear food. If everyone spooked the bears back into the woods we wouldn't have to put so many bears down every year. 😭

2 tags are bad, 3rd tag means they put him down. And people standing there should not be taking pictures but scaring him away to save his life

No, I don’t know why the hell y’all are booing him. He did exactly what he needed to do to keep him away from everybody so he doesn’t end up dead.

So you are saying stop the firecrackers. Do you know what a bear can do to you? He didn’t hurt the bear.

The people saying stop don’t realize that bear will be killed if it doesn’t move back from the people. They don’t trap and relocate anymore.

He’s just looking for a meal and then he’ll retreat back into the woods but humans are stupid and over reactive.
