Not a whole lot you can do.

The bear finishing off the couple and its dog, seems like a predatory attack to me. The news article and the statements from the experts also hint at predation multiple times.

It's that time of year when bears are hungry. The population of Grizzly's, around Banff, has double in the last decade or so, which means more bears sharing the food resources as they instinctively fatten up for winter.

Humans are likely not their preferred diet, but there's less to go around. A bell isn't going to keep you safe, when the bear is actively hunting.
