Prayers for this family. Cannot imagine the terror, the guilt and the pain.
"Prayers for this family. Cannot imagine the terror, the guilt and the pain."
I certainly agree with you. And I most certainly feel sympathy for the family. You're right....terror. And the pain will last forever.
I just was under the impression that wildlife, like bears, mountainlions, etc., will follow their instinct to kill. But a few smart people here were kind enough to explain that I was wrong about bears.
Predatory Black Bear Attack
She was a 5-foot-3, 105-pound hiker, out for a Sunday walk.
He was a 400-pound hulking young bruin officials described as "predatory," looking for a meal.
She said he came up behind her on a trail in Wawayanda State Park in Sussex County, chased her down and tackled her.
She said she did the only thing she could. She threw a hard elbow at his snout, and caught him flush, stunning the bear and giving her time to escape.
"This bear was in predatory mode," said Jack Kaskey, a state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman.
"This was classic predatory behavior. The bear was out to eat her. She had to fight for her life."
