Here's an apropos quote from the link above:

Larry Lewis, a Wildlife Technician, who among other duties teaches bear
safety for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, would agree. He
maintains that too often people get in trouble because they lose contact
with their surroundings, becoming totally engrossed in their fishing,
for instance. The other problem, he says, is complacency or a cavalier
attitude, believing that “it couldn’t happen to me,” or that because I
know all the “rules” for being in bear country I’ll be alright.



Golly. It's deja vu all over again. I have said I am not being
cavalier about it.


Gosh. I could have swore that you just wrote, "They are too busy feeding
on the salmon to care about humans."
