This happened not far from us, not long ago...  Tragic for both the people and animal... 

Know of a resent "incident"   ?? 
Please share..

A couple months ago a neighbor reported seeing a black bear out here, but then, she generally opens her bar mid-afternoon. Nobody else had reported seeing it.

A bear was coming through here about once a month.
Killed one of my cats about 75 feet from the house.
Sizable bear by the tracks. Never saw it in daytime .
Came through during the night.

Not an incident of a black bear hunting a human, just the opposite, involving a town near here (Billy Graham's). It was on the news again this week when they passed a new ordinance.
I'm not familiar with all the details but as usual it sounds as if humans were the main cause of the problem.

Make an open season on bears concurrent with an open season on bear hunting dogs inside city limits. Prob'ly the law would be enough without any dogs having to get killed.....prob''ly just a discussion about the law in a local newspaper would be enough without having to actually pass the law.

I like dogs just fine, just like I like guns just fine, but the problems come in with irresponsible owners in both cases. A close friend had his son torn limb from limb by a dog the little whipper tried to pet when his Dad glanced away for a moment. Kid was never and never will be the same.

REALLy stiff penalties generally make irresponsible behavior rare......Joe
