    Surprisingly, the chances of getting killed by a grizzly or black bear in a National Park is only 1 out of 2.1 million. Even though bears seem like a daunting threat to campers and tourist bears are fairly harmless to the majority. Therefore, bears should not be removed from National Parks because the parks not only provide food storage, but there are no recorded deaths by bears in Yosemite park, and the bears help disperse berry seeds.
