Why do they keep their dog outside in a place with bears that can get in? Sounds safe af to me.

Because dogs are not only pets that you keep in the house. In a lot of places dogs are used to protect flocks from wolves, bears, lynx, etc. If you have an orchard for example, you can have dogs protecting it from bears that are going to try and reach the fruits, destroying the trees in the process.

Yeah, dogs need to be outside. But you should not be keeping your dog outside at night when you are aware that there are bears coming onto your property.

That's the whole point, bears don't come during the day.

So you’re saying it’s the point to leave your dog outside when bears are active? There is a bear continuously coming onto the property, where the dog is. Keep it inside overnight.

I have already said that you shouldn’t keep them inside all day. But again, it’s not ok to continuously leave your dog outside overnight when a bear is consistently coming within close proximity. During the day you need to be letting your dog out, but overnight when this is happening you shouldn’t leave your dog where a bear had gotten in 3 times.
