>>453940Holy shit I am raging so hard right now. What a couple of morons. I apologize for venting but I have to let this out somewhere. Fucking IDIOTS. They are running along which makes them look like prey. When the bear confronts them they continue backing away and speaking soothingly to the bear: "Good boy" etc. And then they try to outrun the bear at the end back to their stupid fucking Hummer. The epitome of stupid white civilization. The reason bear attacks are on the rise is because we are stealing their habitat and their food sources. The woman in Florida who was attacked in her driveway was fighting a starving bear looking for food. The man who was killed in the woods in New Jersey separated from his group and then tried to run away (presumably). Human being are starting to look like prey to animals and when you act like prey you are going to get mauled and eaten.
Stand your ground, look the bear in the eyes, yell, wave arms, throw shit, whatever you have to do. Don't act like prey. Bears can run 35 mph and will catch up to a human easily. Never run. The only reason those poor bastards aren't injured is because the bear lost interest right before they started running away. I love how the one guy left his friend behind to die, by the way. Great job.
I'd be willing to guess this bear is a juvenile that was either starving or never received proper education from its mother. Perhaps its mother was killed. Who knows. In Africa young male elephants are attacking humans more frequently because they lack stable father figures in the herd, I shit you not. The effect of human beings on animals is far-reaching in ways that we cannot begin to fathom. And then when they turn on us we wonder, why?
Sorry again for the rant. I'm finished now.
