Should officials euthanize a grizzly bear if DNA evidence links the animal to the fatal mauling of a hiker in Yellowstone?

    Yellowstone is apparently in it for PR and money. They are more interested in turning a national park into a man made plastic petting zoo. Why is an animal punished for being WILD? I can tell you that as a mom I would have reacted the same way. Kill me for instinct? Humans are a self- centered, gleefully homicidal species, pushing others out of their own environments, often to the brink of extinction, and so very ready to execute any creature that steps out of line, including each other. Sign the petition to stop the killing of a mama and her cubs.

    This "experienced" hiker entered their domain and paid for his lack of not hiking alone or even with bear spray at his side and paid with his life.
    No one has said the bears stalked and killed him, the scenario is more likely he surprised the momma bear and her cub(s).
    He entered their home and she reacted the same as I would if someone came in my house.
    Yellowstone National Park is not a zoo. Don't treat it as one. It is supposed to be an area where wildlife is to be protected. Protect them!
    Turn the bears loose and increase your education of park staff and tourists!

    Absolutely not! Only if the bear came into our backyard because we have no business in theirs.
