2 0 ReplyBlack bears rarely actually hunt, this bear likely saw that man and bit him probatively thinking he was a dead body it could scavenge off of.

I will never visit a park, much less camp overnight, where bears roam.
3 3 ReplySeems a bit dramatic. A combination of bear spray and safety procedure are all you need to reliably avoid them.
I’ve safely camped in bear country countless times personally.

To me, it's not worth the risk, and this article proves it.
It's like owning a pitbull. Can they be lovely pets? Sure. Is it worth the risk of it going berserk with no apparent trigger, as it has happened in the past? Nope.
