You could say that he was the black sheep…er, black bear of his family.
Get used to it. Wolves, and mountain lions are also found everywhere thanks to the animal activist who value animal life over human life. We got the man eaters mostly cleared out by the sixties and then we invited them back to eat us. Figure it out genius.
You've elevated YouTube content to a whole new level.
Bears are going to be seen a lot more often as their habitats are decreasing for humans to build more homes, buildings without a thought about wildlife and where they can live! Bear was probably looking for food. The elderly couple said they weren't even going to start taking precautions. Not good. Praying for the young boy, can't imagine the trauma he experienced. 🙏🙏❤️
poor bear, I feel sorry for the bear
Bare masse work for criminal too. Bobcats mountain lions ground hogs
Prayers and condolences to the family of the bear. 🙏🏾
So we killing animals that's living in their own habitat, yeah ok…
They violated that bear's right to bear arms.
Is the bear going to be ok? She's been living there for 13 years, the bear 30. Stop encroaching on animal habitat. Go get a condo in Fla.
There are no bears on my planet 😮
Grumpy old bear
This is what happens when people feed bears. Poor bear, RIP
Lol the only people that have a problem with this are people that never leave the city.
"It's a freak thing" per the neighbor until it happens again.
Leave the bears – shoot the humans going into the woods – bears belong, not stupid kids
Da Bears
Sad situation, it seems like bears is just showing up in lots of places.
Noo yawk
lets humans die, there's not enough bears
The parents need to be charged. We saw 3 neighbors in this clip say they often see bears. Who lives in an area loke this around wild life and irresponsibly allow a 7 year old play outside alone? I live in. Dallas Suburb and we have Bob cats and Coyotes in my neighborhood. We see them an aware of them. They will attack a small child. When I go for a walk I carry a small knife and other deterants. I will walk with my grandaughter and will never allow her out if my sight or to be far from me. These parents are wrong. There was no reason to shoot the bear. They could have relocated the bear. The bear did nothing wrong.
Just cause the kid screams? That really doesn’t justify an “attack” or the kid would say “it ran after me” or something like that. Should not have just shot the bear. As for that lady in that bucket hat.. you live in the woods, you said it, where do bears live? The city?
they said bear and i thought LGBTQ bear at first.
Awful.
