There is no way the animal whacko types can spin this attack.. Bear have a superb sense of smell, so there was no way the bear did not know what it was dragging away from the ripped open tent.
Please note that the bear attacked a young human, not an adult.
Predators preferentially predate young prey for numerous reasons.
When a predator loses its fear of man, that animal MUST BE SHOT!
Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, and animal rights whackos, America now has an irrupting population of large bodied predators which have no fear of man.
Fear of ESA prosecution, and an agency predisposition to avoid controversy resulting from killing such predators near campgrounds is the probable reason for this tragic and totally avoidable horrific death.
I can understand what you are talking about, I live in California. A few years ago I was camping at the beach, I remember being worried about mountain lions. There have been many attacks by mountain lions in California in recent years. I think it is ridiculous that this is even a concern near the beach. As you know, in California we tend to attract and breed the animal rights types.
