When Brian Boitano was in the Alps
Fighting grizzly bears
He used his magical fire breath
And saved the maidens fair!

“He said that bear ran so close to him, but it was going after somebody else,’”
…1st rule when being chased by a bear. Outrun the other guy.
Ping!....................
I hope they find that bear and turn him into a rug, of course. And, that every one affected heals up ok.
But, for those crazy for ladies who say, “I’d prefer the bear,” here’s a story.
Grizzly bears are misunderstood! Someone must have triggered it. All you need to do in Griz country is say “bear bear” and camp out with Timothy Treadwell!
If the male teacher got in the way of the bear to stop it from attacking children (he wasn't going to halt it), knowing that he would be mauled and probably killed, he's a hero.

This is why there is going to be a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sanctioned bear hunt in my state.
Just like deer, the population of some species must be controlled.
And yet, there are people protesting it in Tallahassee.
Those people need to get a life.

If only some adult on the hike had a firearm to protect those children from that Grizzly. It seems like we are hearing about many more violent bear attacks all over, kind f like two years of covid gave them the opportunity to expand their territory and los fear of humans.
So our guide on an Alaska ATV tour a year and a half ago had a very nice chest rig with a .44 Mag stainless revolver with a 6” or 8” barrel and a set of reloads.
Probably not allowed on a school trip in Canuckistan.
The Canadians would look down on an American teacher who ended the problem with a gun. They’re too European for that.
Good old safe-from-guns Canada.
CanaDUH.
There SHOULD be a LOT more hunting of predators like bears and alligators(and other animals); we should not be constantly fearing attacks on humans and domestic animals nor be overrun by deer,rabbits,mice,hawks,or socialists.
Some friends & I visited Whistler in September. Lots of bears were coming near to town because of all the fires up there recently. Two grizzlies had been spotted & one was hanging out near a school. No one seemed worried about it. I guess they will when it decides to have a kid for lunch.

Any weapon, even a pocket knife, a club, or a rock seems to increase the chance of winning the fight.
Firearms work the best, handguns seem to work better than rifles or shotguns, mostly because they can be quicker to get into action, and easier to hang on to while being mauled.
The sound of a firearm would scare the children, don’t you know?
No mention of whether the bear was a Mama Bear, or whether the group thought they were not in bear country, or if group had open food. It is late in hibernation season ...maybe bear wanted one last snack.
Either way...ya gotta’ have adequate protection when in the backwoods, from animal and human predators. Ain’t Country Bear Jamboree out there.
Democrat bear.
