The real problem imho is, that according to the article, despite having previously injured two other people she was left in the wild. She could/should have been brought to a sanctuary after the first incident.
If you look at the bear’s family, it seems obvious that they somehow learned that humans weren’t to be feared and avoided. Her mother is already in the same sanctuary, two of her brothers were killed. One in Switzerland, the other in Germany - the (in)famously nicknamed Problembär (“problem bear”) Bruno.
Now he can give the German flavor a try

I guess their logic is, the bear ate the human and his body absorbed the nutrients from it so when you eat the bear, you indirectly eat parts of that person.
Yea, that’s the logic, it was meant tongue in cheek though.

I mean it’s not an uncommon line of thought. In alot of cultures it is frowned upon to eat carnivourus animals, because they could eat humans and therefore they are ‘unclean’.
Yes, and for good reason. If your food chain forms a circle, you’re at risk of getting BSE.

The X-Files episode ‘Our Town’ made use of it in a story.
Maybe the jogger was a furry? 🤷
