Bears in general will leave people alone with the exception being the polar bear. They're are the only known bear that will actually go after a human unprovoked.
There are animal sanctuaries all over the place. There had to have been somewhere they could have put the cubs until they were old enough to take care of themselves.
Well, he exceptions being the Polar Bear, Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear, and well most bears except for the black bears, sloth bears, and most Pandas(though they will @#$% you up something fierce)
I love bears, my goal is to own some land in the country and get a couple black bears as pets. Bears were always apart of my life.
So I feel for the momma bear. She was trying to protect her cubs.
However, the man went out to walk his dogs, so even though it's Canada I have a good notion that he lives in probably a suburb or something. A place where, again, even though it's Canada, you most likely don't have bears hanging around down the street.
Which probably means the momma bear was searching for food for her cubs. Which means she was most likely going to kill him, his dogs or whichever didn't get away in time.
So he really didn't have much of a choice in the matter. And to be frank, I doubt even the most hardcore member of PETA would say "gee momma-bear, you have cubs, and your probably hungry, so how about I set aside my wallet so my corpse can be identified and then you can go ahead and maul me and my widdle Chihuahua Mr.ShakesALot"
No, they'd scream, cry, run away and then try to kill the bear as it gnawed on their skull.
This is the most hardcore person on the planet.
