No one has made the claim that humans are not entitled to self defense in confrontations with bears.

How does eating the bear flesh after make it better? It's not like a human could use as a defense, "it's okay that I killed him, because I ate his flesh after."

While rare an encounter with a bear ending badly is always a possibility when we choose to visit the backcountry. Sucks that this happened, but it's not appropriate to gleefully whish vengeful retribution on the bear. It's just unfortunate all around.

[for the record I believe euthanizing the bear was the correct action]
