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.

Tricky situation, isn't it, Abby? When to kill the animal for it's killing of a human ... still, the animal killed the human.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of articles.

I agree with you abby, I mean the man is an experienced man to be alone in the wilderness he knew what he was getting himself in. Plus if all situations were like that grizzly bears would be extinct in no time.
