Just because she's 87 doesn't make it right
I just posted a comment to the CBC website about this article:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2007/06/26/black-bear.html
Here’s what I said:
Your headline is misleading. It implies that the woman was being attacked by the bear, when in fact the bear was merely nosing around her property, probably just looking for food. I find it disturbing that instead of making her property less attractive to bears (removing garbage, etc.) or contacting authorities, she just kills it.
