Teachers fended off a grizzly bear that attacked a school group walking along a trail in British Columbia, Canada, on Thursday, officials said.
"The group had stopped along a trail near the community when a grizzly bear emerged from the forest and attacked," Inspector Kevin Van Damme of British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service, said in an update on social media. "Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger."

My fourth-grade teacher could have handled a grizzly.
One of the students screamed that the bear looked like Trump, and the teachers were triggered into attack mode. 🤬
Hahaha!
“Orange Bear Bad!”
The best comment on the article at FOX news,
“National Park Rangers advise park hikers to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear’s sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.”

Cana-DUH.
My “bear banger” is a .44 mag.
The tall fir tree in front of our house (about 3 feet in diameter at the base) kept losing big branches which is common around here during windstorms. But this was happening when it wasn’t windy. Then I noticed a large pile of bear poop near the trunk of the tree and figured out that a large visitor was breaking off the branches.
Maybe they can do a bear country dance like the "heroic" nurses videoed themselves doing during the Scamdemic lockdowns.
Something like a firefighting arsonist?
I only scanned the article and it said 11 kids attacked. Maybe I missed it, and were any of the teachers also attacked?
Seems odd only the kids were attacked
“a bear banger”?
“Three schoolchildren and a teacher were seriously injured”
Thanks for clarifying
Little more than a minute.
Thanks!
What is a ‘bear banger’?
Perhaps Grizzly Bears prefer lamb to mutton?
Bears prefer to attack the young of there prey.
Fawns, calves are the preferable targets.
Children fall into that category
