#8  I wonder if this photographer was a vegan? Bears tend to eat herbavores maybe Yogi thought the hiker was a young moose.

#6  I just know that if all of you would just hug the bear and let him know how much you treasure its existence, none of this would happen.

#4  Too da** close by any standards. Was the picture worth that amount of risk???

These rare bear-on-human attacks usuall seem to happen in late Summer and Fall. Generally the grizzlies are getting hungry at that time to put fat on their bodies - preparing for hibernation. Not a good time for tourists to pretend they are Natl Geo photographers.
