Black Bear Attack Caught on Video

[K9TXS]

Saw this on Inside Addition the other day. His neighbor saved him by shooting the bear 4 times with a .45 auto. You can go to Inside Addition and see a better video of it.

Survival instinct failure right there.

In today’s world, survival instincts rely heavily on the government to protect them from all the big bad things in the world. This will be Trump’s fault.

Survival of the fittest! Guess we now know Mother Nature is trying to cull that one from the herd!

It has been in the local paper, Jim Thorpe Pa. is about 9 mi. North of where I live.
Wonder how the bear got rabies, it seems like "EVERYONE" has feeders out anymore, especially in the developments, possibly another rabid animal visited a feeder and passed it on to the bear through saliva ???

when ever we enter the food chain, go armed.

he is also lucky it was a small bear and not one of the larger ones we have here in PA

Just another example of the idea "i dont need a gun, thats what cops are for" failing somebody.
Ida shot that damn bear before it touched me.

Rabies virus doesn't not remain viable outside the body. Virus could remain viable inside the mouth(saliva) of a dead animal for a short time, depending on temperature. More likely bear fed on an infected animal, saliva transfer. Pretty common for mammal carried viral/bacterial diseases to have very short( seconds) survival times on inanimate surfaces.

Rabies or not the guy went the wrong way. Should have gone exact opposite way. Much closer to the car then and should have gone soon as he saw the bear.
