This bear may have been trapped, tagged, and DNA tested in the past. They have records like this on many of the bears in this area.

Hmm.. Puzzling.. So they had info on this bear, medical info, and very probably knew she was aggressive.

So....here comes a multi-million dollar lawsuit by the family of the deceased. Issue: Mr Park Ranger, you obviously knew this was a deadly bear and you did nothing about it. Ruling: For the plaintiff; reward the family a few million dollars.

I don't have a problem with putting down an animal that has attacked and/or killed a person but anyone who enters state or federal land designated for the purpose of wildlife habitat should be barred from the privilege of suing the gov for being attacked by an animal.

Wilderness areas and National Parks shouldn't be viewed as Disney adventure parks IMO and that is becoming the norm more and more. The animal makes its choices, however ignorant they may be in making them, and suffers the consequences. Humans make their choices and ought to bear (no pun intended) the consequences for them too.
