The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission has made some statements about the bear. They are keeping an eye on the movement on the bear and allowing it to move out on its own. They recommend leaving the bear alone and giving it the space to move through. Also, never leave food out, because anything that attracts other animals (cats, dogs, raccoons) will also attract bears.
