C0caine bear 🧸
So sad. If she hears about this sad story, we will never go camping again.
The bear had on a Chicago t-shirt.
Unprovoked? Bears don’t know unprovoked from . . .
From Orca attacks to this. The animals are fighting back. They know who the threat is.
Sheriff: they tried to stop the bear, liberal gun control activist campers: bear stop what you are doing we are recording you the world we know how racist you are
Was he in the forest which is the bears home not his! He provoked the bear by being on the bears property! Good riddance
Well, we keep moving into their home.
This man got his dream being as CLOSE to nature as was possible…..rip
Bear was vaccinated
for Covid
poor bear… The man was in bear territory! what would you do if the bear visit your backyard!?
You're in the backyard of an apex predator. Unexpected attack? Perhaps.
"Officials are dumbstruck" ??? Really?
Black bears will eat people, rare or not it happens.
This man was killed in a very painful way because our idiotic so-called leaders allow bears to over populate while living too close to humans.
So let that be a lesson to the "dumbstruck" officials.
Yeah, either disease or damage that prevented it from feeding normally.
Some men have the survival instinct…some don’t. Not the bears fault.
Yeah that's unusual with black bears me and my two chihuahuas walked up to a black bear by accident at a park in the mountains where I live but when the bear and i looked up and seen each other we both were like OH CRAP and ran off in different directions immediately
Unprovoked? You’re in the bears house. The bear is just being a bear.
My condolences to this man & his family. What a horrible way to die 💔🙏😞
This is bear territory,what bears do,not 🧸 🙁
Stop going where large predators are and dropping your guard. Animals are keeping the guard and awareness up 24/7 because they know they are prey, and predators keep their guard up 24/7 because they know they have territory to keep for food, and modern humans include themselves "just hanging out in nature" just be glad it wasn't something with an appetite being eaten alive is the worst way to die. When you are in nature be ready for anything every second.
Unprovoked?! 🙄
Humans are in their yard. Humans are in their hunting grounds. Humans are taking their existence away. “Unprovoked” my 🫏.
Divine prophecy. You've heard about the Orcas, you're going to hear about more unprovoked occurrences. Don't assume, anymore, that animals are "as scared of you as much as you are scared of it".
Rabid bear
But the bears on youtube are always so friendly why did this bear maul me to death
I would recommend stay out of the woods
Man, after how Timothy Treadwell, his girlfriend too, went out… If I was to ever go camping or anything in a know bear habitat, I will be strapped. If a bear puts me in a "one of us gotta go" situation, bear, I choose you! 🔫🔫🔫
That man did something to that bear previously animals don’t attack for no reason
Humans, mostly European culture, are highly removed from nature based on their imagination. Moving into the habitat of another species is provocation. Only unintelligence says if one moves into a domain of wild animals, the animals should not attack or protect their territory.

joe about ask Jamie one more time

Bear: "I'm sorry Ms. Jackson, I am for real
