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.
CBC also has this story.

Are you sure you aren't my wife. That is the exact thing she said. :P
It is true that people move out there to be super close to nature, then when it get's to close, it's a shocker.
You don't see mountain climbers blaming Isaac Newton when they fall.

There was a story on 60 Minutes just last night about "problem" bears. One couple had moved, with tykes in tow, from LA to the wilds of Wyoming and the woman was griping about bears being around and being a danger to her children. Pretty smart woman obviously. The poor family had to move into town and away from there dream house out in a fataing forest because of bears. It was a real tearjerker. [/b][/quote]
I saw that too... what the hell do you expect lady? Holy cripes. I remember many years ago up where Cougar Ridge is now... A Cougar was sitting on somebody's car, not sure what they did to the animal (Probably just relocated it away from population). But hell even when I bike around here It wouldn't suprise me to see a Cougar wondering around the hills near C.O.P. also didn't someone mention seeing a bear in Fish Creek last summer?
So for those Cougar Ridge peeps, you now know why Cougar Ridge is called Cougar Ridge.
