prevent the killing of the bear who killed a hiker in Yellowstone Park because she was no doubt acting instinctually.

Created by M.P. on August 10, 2015

The Park Service has captured two grizzly bears suspected of killing a hiker in Yellowstone National Park. The mother grizzly was most likely defending herself and her cubs from what she perceived as a threat. In other words, acting naturally. Since the backcountry is their (wild, possibly dangerous animals) territory and humans are mere visitors, the bear should not be euthanized because she was acting like a bear.
