Exactly my thoughts on this bear. Not every bear or bear with cubs is that aggressive. What's going to happen when she gets on the next gutpile or dead animal? God help the next hunter or hiker that happens to get anywhere close to her because she's probably going to put the run on them too, maybe with the same outcome.

As far as saying well why don't we just kill them all and chuck in cougars and wolves while we are at it, really? What a silly statement. No one is advocating to wipe all the bears out folks. Just one whose behaviour is particularly aggressive and has now learned that people are just another animal.

Stupid and terrible decision imo.
