Bear killed after attacking camper in Eldorado National Forest
By KCRA
A bear that attacked a camper near Union Valley Reservoir in Eldorado National Forest going into the holiday weekend was shot and killed by wardens Friday evening.
The attack occurred at about 2 a.m. at the Yellowjacket Campground, located at the Sierra reservoir.
Kirsten Macintyre with the California Department of Fish and Game said a husband and wife heard a noise outside their tent and saw a bear rummaging through a cooler.
Once again idiot humans are at fault. Why is food not in bear proof enclosures at this camp! Isn’t great the man and woman are doing alright? But because of their negligence a bear is dead!
Very nice. Humans invade bear territory, leave food out and then don’t expect hungry visitors.
Well problemed solved. Just kill what’s
bothering you. Aren’t humans wonderful.
Can’t (don’t want to) believe they killed the bear who after all wasn’t in their tent from this reading …. simply nearby doing what bears do…following the food. What boneheads!!
