Why do people make Teddy bears into making us think they're cute and cuddly when in real life bears are dangerous and mean?

Because they assume parents are competent enough to teach their kids not to believe the bear dolls are based on real life bears and their behavior, and that bear attacks are rare also plays a role. Also teddy bears a re century old, just about, if not more, they are a long established cultural icon, so they can be produced for that social value.

Teddy Rosevelt started that whole thing....they were just bears until teddy. But, think of all the other stuffed critters there are......why do they make a stuffed ardvark? They are cute with their butten eyes and give people something to hold on to that won't talk back or hurt them........just as life requires sometimes, i guess.

Teddy bears are like toned down versions of actual bears, kind of like how Curious George is compared to an actual monkey. I don't think Curious George flings his feces at the Man in the Yellow Hat.

even though they are dangerous dont they look cute? ...we cant be close to a real bear as its dangerous....whats the use of seeing something soft and not touching it....So to give you an experience of touching a thing which in real like isnt possible they make teddy bears.
the other reason would be its soft texture and cuteness which attracts small children....

I think real bears are cute. I know they started with Teddy Roosevelt. Here's a link http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/kidscorner/tr_teddy.htm

Because Teddy Bears ARE cute and cuddly... they're not the real thing. Have you seen the new stuffed VIRUSES and BACTERIA? We know the real thing is not cute... so yeah.

long before the teddy, bears are associated with healing. Deep shaman and Indian stuff. And we are not mean, just misunderstood. Bears need love...

Because bears are portrayed as cute and cuddly things,mainly meant to make little children happy.They are also soft,so its a two in one deal!

THE TEDDY BEAR WAS CREATED IN REFERENCE TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND HIS LOVE FOR BEARS AND WILD LIFE
