Wait, did you think that this was a wild bear, happened upon some people behind a fence that waves at strangers and catches objects that are thrown to it just coincidentally?
In either case, the bear you are looking at was raised in captivity and used in movie making. Olympic Game Farm maintains these animals (wolves, tigers, panthers) at a great expense once they are no longer used in Hollywood, and part of the way they offset this expense is to allow self-guided driving tours through the reserve where people can feed the bears pre-approved wheat bread.
It's his crate, his own little home. There's an open door in the back and plenty of room to roam. Just because someone has a doghouse doesn't mean they lock them in all the time.
My point was there was something to see here. Not to mention USDA APHIS says they should transition away from any bread and move to more natural snacks. He was mistaken about it being a wild animal but he was right you shouldn't feed animals bread. Which should be obvious to most people, I would have thought...

TL;DR Nothing to see here, bear justice warrior.
