Another Innocent Lost
Imagine being a mother bear in the wilds of Alaska. You have no concept of park boundaries, you just spend your days foraging for your food and protecting your young. It's night and you're out looking for some meals with your two cubs. All of a sudden, something speeds by you and reacting naturally, instinctively, you lash out...
This is what happened in a park not far from Anchorage when, some group decided it would be a good idea to organize a night time bike ride. A girl was seriously injured in the bear attack.

But the story doesn't end there. In all of the intelligence humans can gather, they decided to track and hunt the bear down, all for doing what comes naturally in a habitat known for wildlife. But, oops, DNA prove they killed the wrong bear. Oh, well, no harm done, just two cubs are now without their mother and have to either also be tracked and killed or will have to be taken into (unnatural) captivity. Meanwhile, I assume the hunt continues for the real "offender."

Really, what do we really expect from a state that still allows cruel aerial hunts of wolves?

Everytime, I read or hear a news story like you just mentioned, it angers me how people see animals wild or tame.
A recently new friend invited me to their place to see all the deer he feeds each day. The young have been born right before his eyes. He loves them. Then, I was informated he kills the biggest buck in the herd to keep them from over breeding - known as thinning out the herd or we would have too many deer in this area. Crazy, hasn't he figured out that wild animals reproduce more if and when there is a good supply of food.
