A woman of this age knew the risks she took even with the bears she loved. She died doing what she wanted to do -— hope I get to be so lucky
She wanted to fight bears with brooms?
What.... training bears to go to people's houses for food? What she did was not only damned stupid, but she also endangered other people's lives as well. Not to mention the bears that would have to be killed because of her "kindness."
“She died doing what she wanted to do”
Interfering with nature? Bears don’t need our ‘love’, they are programmed by nature to survive. It always seems to end badly when people selfishly inject themselves in nature’s ways.
I think you forgot the sarcasm alert.
Except she got both bears killed. That is the shame.
Sounds like she got “Munsoned” out in the middle of nowhere. Where’s Woody Harrelson when you need him????
From the article: "Munson had constructed a metal fence that covered her porch so that she could feed bears through the fence."
What did she know?
That chicken wire would protect her from the aggression of a bear?
OR
That a bear would be not become aggressive to a someone who loves bears?
If you're lucky enough, at her age, to do something you love, be smart enough to bring a gun of sufficient power to protect you while you're doing it.
Well, aren't you just precious? This woman can do whatever she likes as long as it only involves her, but feeding the bears endangered others living near her. One neighbor in particular had bear break ins to their house and also lost many, many of their chickens because one of this woman's "pet" bears broke in and killed them. This and other events were chronicled in another thread before this woman was killed when the DOW warned her about feeding the bears. I am glad she is the only one her "pets" snuffed and the neighbors are lucky it wasn't them.
