On October 9, three bear cubs climbed up a tree and started biting hunter, Chad Fortune. After fighting the cubs off, the mother bear got involved and mauled Fortune. Now, wildlife officials plan to catch and euthanize the mother.
This mother bear acted out in order to protect her young from a hunter who entered their territory and posed a threat to the bear family.
Several officials feel the bears had recently been fed by people, causing them to approach Fortune in search of food -- reminding us that feeding or interacting with wildlife can lead to tragic events.
It is unfortunate that someone was hurt, but Fortune did survive the attack -- the mother bear however, may not. Sign this petition to prevent officials from killing this mother bear.
We need 10,000 people to sign this particular petition & only 1,196 have signed so far...please take out time & help this mother bear. Thank you so much!
