I think it's sick that the bear was killed as a result of this attack. The unfortunate victim of the attack did exactly what you are not supposed to do during a bear encounter.
This bear did not have a history of aggression, just a natural curiosity. Now the bear has paid the ultimate price for people's ignorance. Just because there is more than one person doesn't mean that you're safe. How many bears have to be killed before we figure out that we are visitors in THEIR country, not the other way around.
