This photo was taken at a time when national parks were treated like amusement parks. People literally fed bears out of their car windows, and the animals were practically domesticated by this. Yes, they could still do some damage if they were angry, but they got so fat and lazy off of all the food and trash being handed out that they had no reason to be aggressive.
