RE: Nothing personal but you folks have your priorites screwed up.
Whatever. If they were taunting that thing, then I have about as much sympathy for those people as the ones who roll down their windows to pet or feed the “cute Grizzly Bear.” They are (or were) 19, 17, and 23; only one was legally a minor, and just barely at that.
Bottom line is, you underestimate wild animals at your own risk.
Besides, I believe in personal responsibility, don’t you?
I belive a human life outweighs animals...even stupid humans.
I do believe though that folks who put themselves purposely in danger with wild animals have reason to not be surprised when eaten though I don’t celebrate that fact
and I do admire big predators
btw....i also have more sympathy for the dead kid’s family than I do for the dead cat’s survivors who have long since moved on with their lives I’d wager
