A flurry of six bear attacks has happened in North America in less than a week from 27 September to 2 October 2021. The attacks ranged from three by grizzly bears in Canada, two by grizzly bears in the Western United States, and one by a black bear in Ashville, North Carolina. The attacks continue a trend to make this a banner year for bear-human conflicts. Here are the six attacks:
Two men are in hospital after being mauled in separate grizzly bear attacks, roughly 70 kilometres apart in southern Alberta’s Rocky Mountains.
At 12:47 p.m. Sunday, Kananaskis Emergency Services was notified of an attack on Storelk Mountain, south of Highwood Pass in Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park.

About seven hours later, at 8 p.m., Blairmore RCMP received a call about a hunter who had been attacked by a bear.
Two hunters were searching for grouse in an area about 10 kilometres west of Highway 40, near the Alberta-British Columbia boundary and south of Gould Dome mountain, when they came across a grizzly sow and her cubs. The bear attacked one of the hunters, while the other shot the bear, scaring her off, officials said.
The BC Conservation Officer Service says a man is in hospital after a grizzly bear attack in the central Interior region.
In a post on Twitter, the service says the attack happened on Wednesday morning near Granisle, which is northwest of Burns Lake, and about 325 kilometres northwest of Prince George.

probably global warming, and vaccine deniers that are causing this problem.
And racism. Disadvantaged bears are black and brown...
It is a pretty funny graphic...
The bears are very adverse to mask mandates being imposed on them.
BOC (bears of color) Do Polar Bears have White Privilege?
A year for furry flurry fury!
Yes, and they hate Brown bears.
Polar bears have been engaging in gerrymandering.
And, there are “food deserts” in Brown bear areas...
I heard it is mostly teen bears causing all of the trouble
Had one with a pretty girl but, wasn’t sure if the AM would nuke it...
Fattening up for the winter?
The moral is don’t give the bears your lunch, or become their lunch.
That’s exactly what they’re doing. Our garbage cans have been knocked over and the trash spread around lately. I’ve had to put the trashcan in the garage. As soon as it gets freezing they’ll be gone.
Seems like I've read that the USDA Forest Service (or NPS?) sometimes uses explosives to blow bear carcasses to bits. If so, then dead bears sometimes explode...
;>)
Mostly dummy libs (and some others...) encountering and feeding the cute bears? This is how you get bold bears that attack more often.
Regards,
While a group of bears is properly designated a "sleuth," a series or grouping of bear attacks is officially referred to as a maulage.

Simply bad luck North America has the grizzly which is the meanest of the brownies
Course we could be India with tigers
Or Africa and Asia with snakes and lions and hippo and croc attacks
We really only have three apex threats....besides ourselves
But a serious grizzly is a very deadly threat
Their only rival worldwide is the Siberian tiger
I like it.
I may steal it.
