WOW! imagine that. a bear around Yellowstone. who`d a thunk it!

Was the bear wearing a green hat and carrying a pic-a-nic basket too?!

Honestly, why is this even in the news.

Now if the bear broke into an RV and drove it into a bank roof, then yes, I want to see it or read about it.

Bear encounters are all that uncommon around Yellowstone!

Actually, Bear attacks are not common at all in the Yellowstone area. The chances of getting attacked by a Grizzly there is 1 in 1.9 millino, pretty good odds I would say. Seeing a Bear is not the same as being attacked.
If you have some proof to your statement i would like to see it. My stats came from yellowstone-bearman.com
Don't get me wrong, people must be aware that they are in a Bear area and take precautions while following the rules. But actually being attacked by a Bear as this story relates to, is uncommon.

Well, that just does it for me. I will never ever go to Yellowstone.


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

don't come out west then, they have shot and killed six of them in the last few weeks in OR because they were invading human habitat. Even breaking into houses, not something I'd want in my house and another reason some areas of Yellowstone are for "hard sided" RV's only.

How dare those bears invade our habitat! Don't they know who was here first?

Do you honestly think a "hard sided" rv would even slow a bear down? Not a chance.

Bears are tent campers, they don't know how to drive a MH.
