2 More Grizzlies Captured After Yellowstone Attack

Al Nash, the spokesman for Yellowstone National Park, said that two grizzly bears were captured this week for the investigation of the man's death. John Wallace is the name of the man who was killed by a grizzly bear last month. Grizzly bears are being captured so that they can be investigated and researchers can then find which bear killed the man. DNA tests were taken from the bears and are going to be matched. The Yellowstone Park official said that if the grizzly bear that attacked John Wallace is found, it will end up being killed. I think that the killing of the man was not the grizzly bears fault. According to the article, the man was hiking through the park alone when the attack happened. In my opinion, since the man was in the bears territory, the bear was just trying to protect himself and I don't think that the bear should be killed because of that.

Hurricane Katia Gets Stronger Over Open Atlantic

This article is about how Hurricane Katia is getting stronger and closer to the U.S. It is supposed to hit the East Coast of the U.S. and will continue moving North. So far, Hurricane Katia is a category 2 storm and could get stronger as it moves closer. I think that it's crazy that the U.S. is going to have another hurricane this year. Especially since there has already been so many within the past month.
