The fact that picking up and hugging the cub would almost certainly get you killed is proof that nature is cruel

For real. Momma even stopped under a tree to feed them. If she couldn't rip me apart I would have gone out there.

Well, yeah. The mama bear isn't going to let you pick up her baby! You're supposed to pick mama bear up first! Show dominance! THEN you're qualified to hug the baby...
