  1. You build on their land, shrink their habitat and then kill the bear for being a bear. I hate humans.

  2. at least this time, animal lovers aren’t saying “poor bear! Its the parent’s fault!” Like they did with that gorilla who was shot to save another little boy at a zoo. I am glad both boys were saved. This boy is thankfully ok! I don’t need to have a funeral for the bear, just like I didn’t need the harambe gorilla memorial.

  3. Bears are just big fat wild stupid dogs

  4. Kid kept his cool/grampa said: "Not him/not now."

  5. Kid gone be telling that story to everyone that'll listen for years to come. 😂 Good thing he's alright.

  6. RiP to the bear just looking to find some food

  7. Why kill the bear.? Are they vegans?

  8. Im so happy it was not on his face area because to live with those scars wouldnt be fair to anyone and its a cruel world we live in.

  9. People building in the bear's territory, poor bears are starving

  10. Hope the kid heals up well, now he can say I was attacked by a bear and possibly have his own autobiography/documentary

  11. And people want to protest for bear life

  12. Unexpectedly came out of the woods, it’s a bear where else would it have came from. This is why I’m getting at least minimum 8ft fence and with barbed wire! As a home owner stay strapped and ready for all forms of wildlife, humans included!

  13. i'm glad the grandfather and the neighbors saved his grandson, and i'm glad the boy is doing better from that bear attack. But i really feel bad for the bear as well, rip

  14. It's odd for a bear to attack like this. Most often they will just walk away when they hear loud noises. But this grandpa was amazing.

  15. The problem is no one here takes anything seriously about black bear they think " oh they never bother anyone they're just scared, they run away" but I knew something like this was going to happen.
    I saw a black bear in my backyard 20 ft off my deck 2 months ago in Shoreline area, Connecticut and I've never seen a beer in Connecticut I've lived here over 30 years it's getting much worse and people are not aware that we actually are living in Bear Country, here people walk in the woods with nothing with them they don't do beer safety with trash cans or outdoor grills or anything, we need a smart bear program in Connecticut ASAP!

  16. God bless. Damn. Put that bear to sleep

  17. Probably one of the very few wildlife euthanizations I agree with.

  18. I thought when u get mauled, its fatal?? That just seems like a bear attack..

  19. There Ain’t No Doubt I Love This Land!!!! God Bless The USA!!!! MAGA Forevermore
    MAGA Elite

  20. I'm surprised that it was a black bear and not a brown bear. I thought black bears were supposed to be shy of humans and less aggressive?

  21. I love bears 🐻 there cute🙂

  22. Blame people for stealing their land and chasing them out! If you know that there's also more bear presence, why not watch your kids better. People are just ignorant. 💯

  23. Was it a black or brown bear?

  24. Good that they shot that bear. There should be the annual bear hunting season again. All these animal lovers place animal lives before human life.

  25. Damn.. can you at least let us know what part of CT so we can keep an eye out!!!

  26. People need to keep their crotch fruit inside till they are 18.. Too bad the little cum trophy got away.

  27. This is the reason those people posting videos, or calling bears getting into backyard swimming pools cute or funny, without notifying the proper authorities are absolutely reckless and need to be held accountable.

    A healthy fear on both sides is a good thing. Children have no say in where they live, it's entire communities job to create a safe environment for them.

    Bears are not pets, they are deadly animals. They need deterrents, if you them to respect boundaries. They remember and will return to food sources, if it's not locked up and protected properly. One person's negligence can get someone else hurt or killed.

  28. Is that a grizzly bear or a sloth bear?
