actually black bears are a popular exotic pet ... they are the least aggressive bears there are, they tend to actually function well around humans if raised properly from a cub. easy to take care of , relatively speaking of coarse.

Being caged, tame pets ... you de-claw, train them not to stand on hind legs and spend lots of time with then and its very rare that you would have any aggression issues

if i still lived back home ... i'd be ordering supplies to build the cage right now
