...huh wonder where all the people are who were saying that Mr. Merois was an idiot for going into the bush unarmed....you idiots see the problem with bears now?
Going into the bush unarmed is an act of Darwinism. If you or anyone else wants to reduce the number of stupid people on the planet by going into harm's way unprepared I'll not stand in your way.

Countless Canadians do it every week - when was the last bear fatality you heard about? Actually it seems hunters are attacked and mauled as often or more so than hikers.
I guess we just have bigger balls than Americans who are afraid to leave their house without a gun.
Perhaps 'you and others who share your learned view-point' will forgive me and those who share my
paranoid view-point'.
Ray Kitchen was a friend of mine. His 12 year old daughter got to witness her Dad being
torn apart and disgorged! I lived in Ft. Nelson for several years. Bears in town,
in your yard was/is very common.
Ya know that phone list that everyone is supposed to have on their fridge. The list with the emergency #'s for fire, police, ambulance. At the top of our list was the 24 hr # to the Conservation Office [ito get a bear removed from our yards!

Reasons for the attack, one of very few to occur near a large city, remain undetermined.[2]
