Because Tex was relocated twice before, the province doesn't want to relocate him again.  However, his behavior is curiosity and playful, not aggressive.  One case mistaken for aggression was when he followed some hikers, who then went swimming.  Tex chewed on one of their jackets while the people swam.  That sounds like a dog behavior.  Lots of animals play with objects and they do not consider those objects as anthropogenic and therefore off limits. Thinking they would know that is anthropomorphic. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/grizzly-texada-destroy-conserve-relocate-1.7561284 He also has eaten fish from smoke houses, and chased farm animals, which suggests a structural problem rather than a bear problem. He has also been seen near schools, because the schools are in his space, rather than the other way around.  Tex has never harmed or threatened anyone.  Tex is like a big goofy dog.  He deserves to live in peace with no people complaining about him.  We would like the Conservation Officer Service to get rid of the Three Strike Policy and instead work on changing human behavior.
