Reminds me of the guy in Georgia who was throwing peoples skeletons in the lake & giving the family wood ashes (telling them they had been cremated).

Dude, we're talking about Vancouver Canada here. This isn't backwater USA, with hilly billies running around shooting off rifles at the dump. Our gun laws are way different than yours.
Conservation isn't something you just sign up for because you think the pay is good. It's difficult to get in to and the pay is NOT good. I find it hard to believe there's many true "animal haters" amongst the conservation officers. I won't discount the possibility of a few I guess, but seems like an odd career choice.
Now of course some animals have to be destroyed. Some can't be relocated, or continue to come back to populated areas and end up being destroyed. Some die while being relocated aswell.
The fact of the matter is, the longer a bear stays around the neighborhood, the more likely it will eventually have to be destroyed. So by buying a paintball gun, a goofy one at that, to try and scare it away because you don't want to call conservation is actually doing more harm than good.
We can only hope that Einstein tries to use the painball gun from the same level and close to the bear and gets a swat across the face from a pawful of sharp claws.
