It's so bizarre I thought it had to be fake at first then found it on dozens of other news sites.

#98QBKiller Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wow that is so ****ed up. I can't imagine what it's like to have to: A) Be eaten by a bear Have to listen to a loved one be eaten by a bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidmorals Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Oh my God... That's completely horrific. I was all set to post a relevant and humorous link and probably make some bad puns, but after reading the article... I don't have the heart to do it, any more. It's just too unbearably grizzly for that kind of childish pandamonium. ...I'm a bad person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 "Six hunters were sent in by the emergency services to kill the mother bear and her three cubs." Once again....why do they have to kill the bear and three cubs? I mean really? The damage has already been done leave the bears alone. Mother bear I can maybe see, you don't want a bear getting used to killing people and eating them. But three little cubs? That's messed up. Too bad about the girl too.

abdcskins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I guess....but why can't you just take them somewhere else and raise them until they are grown enough to fend for themselves? Put em in a zoo. What I would do is tranquilize the mom and put them all in a wagon and take em back out into the middle of the wild. No harm done. Killing animals just because they attacked a human doesn't make sense to me. Humans are in their territory so they felt threatened and attacked. Seems natural to me.

Put em in a zoo. Well, odds are slim to none that you could successfully re-release them into the wild under those circumstances so they'd be stuck in a zoo until they died. You also have to be very wary of the learned behavior the cubs acquired from their mother.

It seems a little odd to me that they would attack, toy with, and consume a human as the article suggests. That kind of thing is a little unusual.

That kind of thing is a little unusual. Yeah, that struck me as really odd too. Like I said, when I first read it my initial reaction was it wasn't real, but you can find it on a lot of legit news sites. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2026914/Mum-bear-eating--Final-phone-calls-woman-19-eaten-alive-brown-bear-cubs.html Pics on that page, obviously before the attack, also a map showing where it happened.

abdcskins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 "No harm done"? :yikes:And the article says the cubs were in on the kill. I meant like no harm done as in you take the animals back out into the wild no harm done. A person was killed so yeah of course there was harm done. Basically some people were all up in some bears area and they got hurt real damn bad. It is a horrible tragedy. But I don't blame the bears in the least. We as humans destroy these animalss habitat on a daily basis so of course they need to adapt to that. You take away the bears homes then deal with the consequences. If I ever go hiking in Yellowstone or something I am gonna take a note that reads "If I am killed by a bear or mountain lion don't kill it! I had it coming."

That's messed up. Too bad about the girl too. Because this bear, and probably it's cubs, associate people with food. Or rather people as food. That is not "normal". Better it be killed than afforded the opportunity to attack again. It's just a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You said something and I responded in a reasonable manner. No stupid sarcastic smileys like you.Some people got killed by some bears. Cry about it. There is a big difference between people getting killed by a bear, which does happen, and what happened here. First it killed the person she was with. Then it ran her down, and started knocking her around and playing with her. It then proceeded to eat her alive. After doing that for a little while, it went brought its cubs and they started eating her alive as well. That is in no way normal behavior and that bear should definitely have been killed.

Dude, it's OUR planet, they're just living on it. If they become a threat to us, while walking around our forests, they die! Think of the children!

It would be a different story maybe if they had come across the cubs and the mother and had gotten killed. This is a much more disturbing story... The animal not only played with the girl while nibbling on her, but then brough her cubs back to partake as well. Incredible disturbing. This is not a normal bear it should be killed.

abdcskins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Agree the bear should be killed, I mentioned that in my first post. The cubs not so much. In the end I like bears more than I do humans lol. Score one for the animal kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
