    The mountains, woods and forests are the home of all of the wild animals. They are only sharing it with you, be respectful of them. They are precious.

      That is just not true I set live trail cameras in the angeles forest near pools of water and I say pools Bc there’s plenty of water for the bears to drink and other wildlife maybe they’re hungry but not thirsty

    Being respectful and gives her the right of way, because the bear knows it's walking on our trail which belongs to the hiker, and if she commanded the bear to get off the trail, I bet it might do so. It's not in attack mode at all.
