Hate to break it to you but I know first hand that that is not “wildlife conservation 101”. First thing they do is relocate, far away from any civilization. They want the bear to live, especially when the animal is endangered. At the same time factors that led to the incident are addressed as best as they can be. In this case that would be difficult. Only as a last resort are they euthanized. If you’d actually like to learn anything, there’s actually a lot of good resources available with the WCS.

We also aren’t talking about some downtown suburbs. It’s a remote Alaskan village. There’s an entirely different set of circumstances.

Exactly. If we are hungry we go kill an animal to eat it so we don’t starve. The bear did the same thing. It’s not it’s fault that the only thing available to it was this woman and a child. We’ve been saying for years if we don’t get climate change and expansion under control then eventually this was gonna happen. Now it does and people are shocked. It’s ridiculous

Humans aren’t more important than animals. In fact, we are just other animals that are aware of the concept of self. It’s the food chain. Is it sad? Yes. But it’s nature. Maybe if we didn’t encroach on their territory at the same time as destroying their natural habitat this wouldn’t happen. Bears just being a bear.

I’ll go on record and say If a bear kills and eats me, let him live and chill. His life is just as important.

I know you’re being downvoted to hell but I totally agree. Bears just doing bear things. It’s really sad that it happened but this is what happens when we not only encroach on their territory but also allow their habitat to shrink so much.

I don’t get why humans put their lives so much higher than other species. If a bear kills a different animal it’s nature but if they kill a human it’s a tragedy.

Hope the bear isn’t killed.
