I read her comments, and I agree with her to the extent she is disappointed that the bear has to be killed because a human entered its kill zone. I understand the taste of blood argument, though.

Frankly most of the comments I read seemed pretty sane; man takes pretty pics of cute little bear, next thing you know Mr Bear is opening him up.

I accidentally came upon a bear about 50 feet away in N Ga and will never forget it. If he wanted me, I was dead. I shook for about 30 minutes afterwards.

When I was a teenager, I was fishing with my dad. We were hiking out on a logging road when we came across a freshly killed bear cub. It had been hit by a logging truck (we'd seen the truck not 5 minutes before) and we knew that Momma Bear was still close by.

It was the only time I've seen my father scared, in 40-odd years. It was the fastest, and quietest, hike out that I've ever done, before or since.
