Spread the word and save the life of a bear.
I was wondering if that was an unwritten part of the story.
Filing this under "mostly peaceful".
When we were kids, my folks kept track of my older sisters when they rode the horses up the mountain trails for that very reason. And that was more than 50 years ago. Everybody was aware back then.
Stupid family
I believe that is the “Cosby” section, not “Crosby”...
The bear was wearing a hoodie, and could not be identified.
Only MORONS sleep in hammocks in the mountains at night without a big bonfire and a 44 Ruger mag.
How many times does it have to be said?
Nothing good happens after midnight.
No Hammock Gun.
Big mistake.
The bear was killed because the girl and her family were beyond stupid.

Every year, thousands of vacationers see black bears in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mostly on the Tennessee side.
“Fatal black bear attacks on humans are so rare — more so than any other species of bear — that they occur on average of once per year across North America. In addition, about one black bear out of 1 million will attack a human in a predatory manner, Rogers said.”

As more and more “tourists” make contact with the animals, and the people feed and do not respect the wildness of the animal, the more comfortable the bears get being around people. So as that is their habitat and they lack fear of contact, they will be more approach from them.
From the description of the wounds, the confrontation sounds more like a feeding effort rather than an attack based upon the confrontation itself. So my problem is why kill a bear that is just doing something natural, in an area set aside for the animals, that everyone knows they are there to allow them to be on their own, and then determine if the animal actually did the attack after it is killed? There are ways to protect yourself from bears rather than swinging someone in a hammock. And what would they have said if the bear they killed did not have evidence of the attack on it? Oh, well, my bad!
God gave humans the “power” over animals by giving us more intelligence. About when are we going to use it?

I saw that movie:
And they proved that the attacking bear was a male, and that the family’s food was stored out of the bear’s reach.
The Great Smoky Mountains are part of an International Biosphere Reserve and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Does the same apply to menstruating men?

Bring back Midnight Basketball for bears !
Whenever I go up there I am always armed. A black bear will attack, kill, and eat a human if they can. Especially in the fall.
