I guess if bears had horror movies we would be the monsters.

Exactly my thought. We are the monsters.

Interesting read on the history of the suit. The actual purpose is not bear hunting, and is unknown.

I guess the technique was to just run up and Hug the bear to death. Probably where the phrase "bear hug" came from 😂
