I have mixed feelings about this incident. Its not smart to let your dog run loose in bear country because they will find a bear and lead it right back to you causing a potentially deadly conflict. The bear had stopped it’s charge and may have chosen to run off to its cubs or continue the attack. Considering the circumstances I probably would have done the same thing.
I agree with you. The whole incident is a damned shame. The bear was protecting its habitat and cubs against what it perceived as an invader. Once the contact was initiated between man and bear (by the dog), the outcome was probably unavoidable. A sad tale.
I agree. Too many dumbasses let their dogs run wild in the forest. That dog saw a bear and went charging up to it. And that’s just what he’s gonna do to a hiker or someone else.
That 23 year old needs to control his curr.
