No...what is silly is that you have hikers in a bear habitat, and you think that we have to punish the bear for doing what any wild animal would do.
I completely agree if this bear had come into a populated area outside of its normal habitat and killed someone, that you would have to deal with it appropriately. But, this is one of the very few areas in the U.S. where grizzlies thrive.
There are an estimated 600 grizzlies in Yellowstone and there’s been very few attacks on humans over the years. This sow killed a human a couple months ago and the Park Service knew this bear did it and refused to put her down. Now it looks like she killed another human a month after her first kill.
I’ll say again, any wild animal that kills a human should be put down if the animal can be identified, no matter where it takes place.
I still think grizzlies should be reintroduced in California. It is after all the symbol on their state flag. The best place to reintroduce them is the hills of Malibu where the most liberal tree huggers with money live.
