I'm no expert, just brainstorming.
There already are, people just want to be ignorant and pretend like the only way to defend yourself from a bear or other wildlife is with a gun. Which in a lot of cases doesn't do shit anyway.
There's plenty of non-lethal animal deterrents. Bear spray, alarms, non-lethal ammo like you mentioned. Hell, I swear a fence is a new concept to some people here.
