Over the weekend a black bear attacked and killed a woman on Rainy Lake Sunday evening. This happened at a family cabin on an island just across the border on the Ontario side. A mother and 2 yearlings. Ontario officials shot one of the cubs. They are not sure what to do about the mother and the other cub.

It has been a dry summer in the Northland and wildlife will be looking for food from less traditional sources.

Sad for all involved...

That really is too bad. Why shoot just the one cub?

Your right they should have shot all three.

It is not like ONT. has a shortage of black bears.

They have both a spring and fall hunting season.

From the article:

"Eventually they found a yearling bear standing over her body. Officers shot the bear while another yearling and a sow were nearby in the brush, acting aggressively, making noises with their mouths and stomping"

Good reason to shoot all three.

Unreal! Can only hope she didn't suffer too terribly and died quickly.

"Forestry officials say Mueller was just the second person in 14 years to die in Ontario as the result of a black bear attack."

Was the first person the one they made the movie Backcountry after?

Jacqueline Perry, 30, female most likely the victim in back country Sept. 6th 2005

I guess leaving out the ones in other part of Canada is just fine.

Makes it sound better for sure.

Being mauled just does not count I guess.

maybe you should start your own website tallying up and documenting animal attacks like the people that do "mass murders"

then you get to define what an animal attack is, for example, somebody getting injured because they tripped and fell because they wanted to get a better view of a bear could be considered a bear injury, it was after all, caused by a bear

according to them three people getting killed isn't a mass murder, but 4 people getting injured is, it seems crazy but it increases the number of mass murders which seems to be their goal, similar to yours

Compiling data does not increase numbers it just allows people to see them.

The way riverrunner stays on brand around here is truly impressive.

I was wondering if this thread would stay dormant.
I agree with all riverrunner's posts.
God bless her family.
