As I've said before , it only takes once ! www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352211,00.html

There are certainly two species of animals that are totally unpredictable - and that can be highly dangerous at any given moment - bears and elephants. (The Indian elephant variety - It's a given that the African is dangerous) Maybe now we will see the US National Park rangers tightening up on tourists snapping pictures of grizzlies crossing the road in the particular national park. (I've seen pics of women and children apparently as close as perhaps 50 feet to a grizzly sow with a cub crossing over the roadway)

I draw the line at training bears. Good for him. Better dead than imprisoned is a natural feeling amoung many of us animals.

The lady on the news here asked the male news anchor "I wonder why it killed him?"

The first answer that popped into my head was "Because it's a bear!"

Amen Fjold, just like Chris Rock said when talking about Siefried and Roy's infamous Tiger attack,

'People said that tiger went crazy--he didn't go crazy he went TIGER!'

Biting stuff is what these critters do--just cause they don't for a while, doesn't mean that ain't what they do!

Mete:

Just today on a cable network I saw a "cousin" of the trainer killed by the grizzly say that the grizzly was "affectionate". He repeated the word throughout the interview. He indignantly rejected the idea that the grizzly should be killed - not for the reason that I might give (that the animal didn't deserve to die just for acting according to his nature - but should be killed because now he knows how easy it is to kill a human being). He said the grizzly shouldn't be killed because the grizzly was "sorry" for what had happened. I kid you not. That's what he said. The "cousin" went on to say that the grizzly was just not himself ever since. I wished that the interviewer had asked if the "cousin" planned to get into the ring with the grizzly. (BTW, I have no idea where you are in the country but this grizzly looked to be near the very top of grizzly weight, I mean near 800 lbs. I saw films of the trainer "wrestling" with the bear -and shuddered. That guy had been playing with fire from the beginning.
