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]
Shooting a bear without eating it is wasteful indeed. They are in the same family as pigs, who doesn’t like bacon? Ham? Chops?
