She lived in a remote part of Colorado. She had been feeding bears ( and hence living around them) for years. She knew her environment and the risks.
Really? She appeared to, at a minimum, underestimated this particular risk.
That doesn't make what she did any less stupid or irresponsible. It wasn't all about her, althought obviously she thought it was. She got herself killed, two bears destroyed, and endangered the lives of anybody living in that area by encouraging dangerous wild animals to associate human dwellings with easy food.
