In this doc a lot of the managers involved with her talk about the special treatment she receives.

Been kind of fascinating to see how folks feel about this bear on social media. Bears are cool animals, and bring forth sentiments in the extreme for many on either side of the coin. I've seen diatribes against the driver of the car, poetic tomes of love and anthropomorphism, obituaries from opportunists leveraging the emotions of the crowd to further the largely unrelated, and all sorts of stuff.

Clearly a symbol to a lot of people.

More bears + more people = more incidents = more fodder. It's a comin'.
