Because expensive. They eat a lot, but most of all, they can climb, which means their enclosures are much harder to build than enclosures for other large strong animals like hoofstock.

why do bears have such big bottom lips
>>
i think i would rather get killed by a polar than a grizz
being proper predators i bet a polar would put me down clean
grizzlies are such big disgusting lumbering parasite-filled retards theyd probably sit on top of your and start eating at random parts until youre smothered and die from shock

I can't buy the idea bears would be too difficult to domesticate within 15 generations given how rapidly dogs changed since the 1700s. The only thing preventing it really is stability of the facilities giving care for them. We would basically need a fallout shelter system but with bears and humans living together

and between 10 and 40 kg of food per day, depending on the species and the season.

I have been getting bear streams on my youtubes. there is a bunch of them on a river eating salmon all day and its long days because its Alaska

this isnt about being difficult to domesticate, its about them needing way more food and space than several big dogs combined

Panda bears are practically BEGGING to be domesticated but those greedy slanty eyed chinks are keeping them all for themselves

Their food source requires little to no competition. Same reason why koalas are completely retarded and aren't extinct.
