Please pray for the family of the 11 year old boy who was killed by a black bear in American Fork canyon a couple of days ago. It is such a tragedy, the family was camping in a tent and the boy was dragged out of the tent by his sleeping bag and killed. They have found the bear and killed it, and confirmed it was the killer bear.

Prayers are for that family. I read about it earlier and it is just so sad.

I’m very glad they got the bear.

Prayers for the family. Being raised in an area of Bears and wolves, we learned early that we humans smell like meat. I don’t care how lovinging we think sweet bears are, how protective the canine is, we are on their menu. People should learn, before they go camping what kind of an area they will be living in. I do feel sorry for the family experiencing their loss, but please before “camping” in the wilderness, know how to protect yourself and your family. I’ve been watching this sweet baby polar bear, one day it’s going to realize....Meat. We used to lose a couple of kids, a year, to polar bears, in Alaska, about 40 years ago, the bears would even take a grown up from time to time. Know your surroundings, be prepared, be aware.
