Woman Killed by Black Bear

Another Black Bear mauling, just over the border from Minn. in Canada, yesterday. The article ends like they normally do for a bear attack - this is so rare it hardly ever happens.
Seems to me like I read and hear about it quite often anymore.

Black bear kills American woman in rare attack in Canada

Officers found a bear standing over Catherine Sweatt-Mueller's body and shot the animal on Red Pine Island.

Rare seems pretty accurate imo. Sad situation none-the-less.

It happened Sunday night, but the latest info is that it was a sow with two yearling cubs. Sounds like the dogs were roaming the island, got caught up with the bears, she went to see what the dogs were barking at and then didn't return. Initial reports sounded like a predatory attack, but as more detail is coming out, seems ike it was just an unfortunate run-in with a sow and cubs.

Cue Johnny Carson here: "How rare is it?"

Ed McMahon: "Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck!"
