Shot Bear Bites Back

"Man kills for sport but the animal dies in earnest." Unknown...
Beauchamp, of nearby Newville, had just shot the bear with a .444-caliber rifle and was within 15 feet of it. He turned to run, but the bear put a claw around his hip and bit him twice, once in each thigh, before dying.
The story both saddens & gladdens. I root for any bear, not caught rummaging on somebody's back porch, to give as good as he gets, but alas this bastard gets to tell his side of it.

there's this great comic i saw once where some bears decided to move into the city. but first they had to cull the human population because it "needs thinning anyway" and was a hazard to the bear. so they just went around killing humans and building caves for themselves - brilliant.
