"...One minute, Emily Miles was walking her dogs in a Santa Barbara County avocado grove...

"...Mackey said the department evaluates every incident on a case-by-case basis. Setting traps, she said, was the method they decided to take given the rugged terrain..."

Gee, thanks for the extra special help, Big Government!

Hey Emily,

A 12 gauge side by side coach gun is the perfect companion when a lone woman takes her dogs for a walk in a tree orchard as fall approaches, or in any season for that matter.

Personal safety is a personal responsibility.

Still, Miles said she doesn't want state game wardens to hurt or kill it.

So this witless wonder would prefer that this bear attack/kill another innocent person in the future?

Yet-another-bear-attack Ping!

Maybe there's something in the water this year...

I knew of an Indian woman in Canada who played dead and survived. Her husband told us the story. the bear approached her and slapped her around, she fell to the ground and played dead. the bear buried her with dirt rocks and sticks and then it left. When she was certain it was gone, she got up and ran home. He wounds took years to heal, according to her husband.

***In addition to the bite, Miles suffered a cracked rib and deep claw marks on her back during Monday’s attack.

What is it with some people? She knew by looking at it that it would try to kill her, so she fought it and survived, yet she doesn’t want it to be hurt or killed if/when it’s captured. I guess she thinks she already taught it a lesson, and that it won’t try to hurt another person or animal contrary to its nature. I have no words.

What is the deal with black bears this year?

I can't let this thread end without mention of Bella Twin a 63 year-old Cree Indian grandmother who killed one of the largest grizzly bears on record with a single shot 22 cal. rifle in 1953.
