What? A grizzly bear attack

[Anonymous]

A grizzly bear is on the loose after attacking a school group in Canada, leaving 11 people injured, two of them critically.

The incident happened on Thursday afternoon on a walking trail in the town of Bella Coola, in the province of British Columbia (BC). The group were from Acwsalcta School, which is run by the Indigenous Nuxalk Nation in the remote town 700km (435 miles) north-west of Vancouver.

Probably not a threat to this area unless the bear boards a flight to Dulles and survives the people movers.

How were that many people attacked?
Cross Canada off the list of places to move to

I have a friend who lives in Alaska. Their schools organize hikes/camping trips and teach survival skills. Armed teachers (shotguns, iiicc) walk at the front and back of the groups in case they run into bears. The Canadian teachers had bear spray and noisemakers, which seems inadequate against grizzlies.

Maybe stop going in the habitat of wild animals?

Yeah? Try living in Churchill, where polar bears wander around town.

Grizzlies have been moving north with climate change as well. So maybe we should stop messing with the habitat of wild animals.

In any event, do you realize how sparsely populated most of Canada is when you get away from the southern border? The town this school is in is tiny and surrounded by vast stretches of unpopulated land sprinkled here and there with other tiny towns.

What is the right deterrent against grizzlies? You know in case any of us encounter them around Dulles.

Carry a jar of Honey and toss it to bear and walk away. Do not run but walk fast.

Walk backwards not with back to bear. And fast.

A gun. And I say that as someone who HATES guns. IF you are hiking in the wilderness where there are known to be grizzlies (like Canada and Alaska), you need a gun and the training to use it.

Always amuses me how city people are scared of bears and everything in the woods.

Every time have come up on a bear, simply keep on keeping on. Never had one even give af I was there other than a grunt. It's the idiots who want to pet it or get near the cubs or their food/fish that get attacked.

How about this group of British Columbia students and their teacher/leaders? They are trained what to do and what not to do yet got attacked

Wow that’s crazy. I feel like I was taught bears had never attacked more than three people hikin. Being in a group was supposed to be very good protection.

Maybe we are seeing the beginning of troubles: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.(Revelation 6:8)
