Default Re: Our bear is now famous...

My bear made CNN front page! lol

Actually bears are not to be feared as much as lots of people have been saying...

"Between 1900 and 1985, there were 162 bear-inflicted injuries reported in the United States. This constitutes approximately two reported bear-inflicted injuries per year[1]. Likewise, Stephen Herrero, a Canadian biologist, reports that during the 1990’s bears killed 29 people in the U.S. and Canada, or around 1-2 people a year, as compared to the 15 people killed every year by dogs[2]. Multiple reports remark that one is more likely to be struck by lightning than to be attacked by a bear when outdoors; in comparison to the 1-2 people killed by bears annually, around 90 people are killed by lightning each year[3]. "
