Liga Bleive: The main thing is not to feed it. And when you run away from the forest, don’t forget to take your baskets of mushrooms and berries with you, so the bear doesn’t get used to finding a lot of tasty things in them. Otherwise, it will start scaring people regularly.
Mikhail Parakhin: A few days ago, I wrote in the group "Bear Sightings in Latvia" that I saw a bear in the forest near "Ziemelblazma". Later, at the cemetery in Skulte, a local resident told me that the day before, a bear was seen from the direction of the cemetery. Unfortunately, some people reacted as if I were a liar and an idiot, claiming that this couldn't be true, and so on.
Kalvis Berzinsh: It’s fine, the bear is just resting.
Inta Shmite: This is no longer funny! Can we not go to the sea now because a bear is wandering there? How much longer will the municipality wait? Until someone gets hurt? And don’t try to convince me that bears don’t attack people… In Estonia, a "little bear" also attacked a woman.
Kalvis Berzinsh: Everyone wants to relax at "Jūras priedes," and the bear does too…
