Abstract

Abstract Bears evoke many responses in humans, both to their social/cultural presence and to their physical/ecological reality. This study examines attitudes towards bears in two cities in British Columbia, Canada. Focusing largely upon black bears ( Ursus americanus ), open-ended survey responses are analyzed to identify the key values that participants identified for the bears with whom they share space (both cities have large populations of urban bears). The largely positive nature of the values articulated suggests that there is hope for the long-term survival of these charismatic creatures even in largely urbanized settings.

有时熊吃了你，有时你吃了熊:围绕城市熊的价值观

熊唤起了人类对它们的社会/文化存在和物理/生态现实的多种反应。这项研究调查了加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省两个城市对熊的态度。主要集中在黑熊(美洲熊)上，开放式的调查结果被分析，以确定参与者为与他们共享空间的熊确定的关键价值(两个城市都有大量的城市熊)。所阐述的价值观在很大程度上是积极的，这表明即使在很大程度上城市化的环境中，这些有魅力的生物也有希望长期生存下去。

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
