Now don't get me wrong, this poor boy must have been petrified to wake up and find a bear munching on his head. But I am mortified that it has been considered acceptable to kill A bear that was THOUGHT to be the perpetrator! This boy was sleeping in the wild, surely it is not acceptable to just track a bear down, and just kill it. Even if it was the actual bear, should it have been killed given the nature of the location?

Why do we have this attitude towards animals, yet we don't towards humans, that do have the intelligence to know better?
