Grizzly bear injuries 2 hikers in Yellowstone
Updated 7:28 am, Friday, August 16, 2013


YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — The National Park Service says
a grizzly bear charged a group of hikers in Yellowstone National Park,
leaving two people injured, including one person who suffered bite and
claw wounds.

Four people had hiked a few miles down a trail southwest of Canyon
Village when they spotted a young grizzly bear around 11:30 Thursday
morning. A sow grizzly appeared nearby and charged them.

Two of the hikers were able to use their bear spray and the sow and
cub left. The encounter lasted about a minute.

All four were able to hike out to the trailhead themselves. One person
was treated at the scene, while the other with the bite and claw
injuries was taken to a hospital.

All four have asked that their identities not be released.

Hike somewhere else, morons, and stop intruding on the bears' little
bit of remaining space.


I live in bear country. People that live out here have no problems
with bears, wolves and coyotes. The weekend citidiots are another
story. They are a bigger problem than all the animals. Darwin's
solution is the best.
