Most fatal attacks by North American black bears during the past century were conducted by lone, male animals that stalked and then killed their human victims as prey.
A mother bear with cubs is not the most dangerous.

so they eventually sawed the bear's head off, leaving it attached to Petrini's leg. If he left it on, it would make a great cocktail conversation starter at parties, as well as an excellent pick up line for women who might be curious.

Why does the press never think to ask about the gun used in these attacks?

Petrini says he was armed with a pistol and shot the bear as he was being mauled. That is about the only way you are going to survive being mauled by a 400 lb bear. A great argument for being armed.

I hate when a bear bites my leg, I have to kill it and his jaw locks in position and they have to saw the bear’s head off. I hate when that happens.

“A mother bear with cubs is not the most dangerous.”
I saw this:
National park campsite in northwestern PA.
Mother and two cubs rooting around for camp food.
Ranger kick mother in butt, mother runs screaming into the woods. Cubs watch mother, eventually they follow her, but they look pretty embarrassed.
