Yeah, but it was a black bear. I've heard of grizzlies eating people.....but I thought black bears werre much smaller and sort of harmless.

I feel sorry for the boy and his family, but, it's a tragedy that humans encroach on wildlife's habitat and don't have enough respect for it to clean up after themselves which allows things like this to happen. It's not the bear's fault. He/she was working instinctively. He/she was protected his/her food source.

When I was in high school we went camping in MT and found out that we were staying in a motel for the night before we took off hiking the next day. At camp the following day they told us that 2 people had been killed in that campsite 2 nights before. They were told exactly where they shouldn't camp, and that's where they plopped their tent. Hmmmm...and they say animals are brainless.

I truly feel for the boy and the suffering that I'm sure he endured...how horribly frightening and painful. RIP
