It's not the bears. It's the people who have fed these bears, either directly, or by not storing food and garbage effectively. And now the bears face removal and/or euthanasia. Yosemite and other national parks finally insisted on bear canisters in the back country when they found that not only a large percentage of hikers were not trying to hand their food correctly---even those that thought they were doing it right were still making lots of mistakes. More than 90% of all the food in the backcountry was available to bears until the switch to bear cans.
We certainly use ours.
