the 1% will do the same to the first one of us that eats one of them.

And he liked it so he posed a threat...poor bear, though.

He was smarter than the average bear.

Are there many dead guys sitting in cars on remote logging roads?

That's what I was thinking. That bear must have had a cache of dead convicted murderers.

They were afraid that the next human it may try to eat would be alive.

I think he was just getting an easy meal.

He was wrong.

Not sure if the murder victim did molest a family member, but if they did, then I have pity for this guy. He might have in fact been justified considering they reduced his case to 2nd degree and let him back out into society.

Anyone know much about that case?

He was already dead.

Something about it might attack a living human down the line or something.

If they euthanize the bear, it's wrong, if they don't, it might attack a jogger or camper, and they'd be wrong, too.

It sucks to be the authorities in this situation.

The whole idea of a bear "getting a taste for human flesh" sounds unrealistic to me. I can understand how bears who might be older might see humans as easy targets, but just because they ate some human carrion, doesn't mean they'll start hunting humans. I think it was an easy meal for the bear.

I don't buy the "taste for" argument either. Meat's meat.
