Doesn't matter where they live, all bears seem to thrive on carrion when they can find it, blacks perhaps less so.. I don't know. It was obvious something bigger than birds or even foxes which hauled virtually every bone from the site of the bear kill I mentioned.
I have no problem with eating edible bears, but many of the bears hunted aren't what would generally be considered edible, that's the point. (The more probable edible ones are not the ones being targeted FWIW.) There are plenty of rutting caribou getting killed that truly can't be eaten if you need a cause. The antlers and perhaps the capes are are all that gets used there. (Yes, I know the meat must be removed from the field, but I doubt that even many ravens benefit when it ends up in the landfills.)
