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.

The manner of death was ruled to be accidental.

It should be noted that the bear disagrees with this ruling.

When fighting a bear, hand to claw combat is the only true way to die with honor.

“She died doing what she wanted to do”

Interfering with nature? Bears don’t need our ‘love’, they are programmed by nature to survive. It always seems to end badly when people selfishly inject themselves in nature’s ways.

It was gruesome but there are much worse ways to die in this world. She made her decision and the bear made one too.

Really? She appeared to, at a minimum, underestimated this particular risk.

And what part of the Centennial state do you live in? you are most likely one of the snarky city dwellers and a transpkant at that

I was born and raised in Colorado. Would still be there except my job requires me to be some where else. I have spent enough time aaround bears and the folks who live in remote sections of the state to understand both. I know exactly what my risks are and this woman did too. I never suggested she was being “kind”. She endangered no one else ( yeah yeah go ahead and say your piece. You are in fact wrong).

Go back to your city dwelling, turn on the electricity, watch your TV, and tell me all about the hard life one has in ‘the wilderness’

LOL...I read the book on the Lewis and Clark expedition, and when they met the Indians, those Indians tried to warn them about the grizzly bears, which the white guys had never encountered before.

Apparently, Lewis, Clark and the rest of the team said something along the lines of “We ain’t concerned about no stinkin’ bears! We got Guns!” and immediately began actively looking for these special bears, much to the horror and astonishment of the Indians, who couldn’t understand these suicidal white guys.

Someone made a famous crude painting of one of their first encounters, which shows a whole bunch of guys firing wildly into a grizzly, which in the picture looks as if it was painted 25 feet tall...

If I recall the account, they shot it something like twenty times, it ate their guns and chased them across a river or something like that.

They drily stated in their account they they would not seek any encounters with those bears in the future.

I had to laugh. That was before the Grizzlys were cut down to size, and I’ll bet those were some HUGE, mean, wild bears!

Worf might have actually won that fight, unless it was the 400#er.

In this case, it was self-adjusting.

Don’t take a broom to a bear fight. Messing in a bear fight is OK as long as you have sufficient bear medicine.
