This was a tough one to call. So, we have decided to go with the Denali wildlife staff and rangers on this one. I'm sure they did not take their actions lightly. Yes, maybe the bear could have been transported. But, the bear was only half of it's natural weight with broken bones, as reported and officialy documented. The real problem here were humans, again. A hiker throwing a backpack with food at the bear. Is in the golden book of rules, of what not-to-do, with a bear! This action and others, I'm sure did not make it any easier on the wildlife staff, rangers and more importantly the bear, did it. The world of tourons is a dangerous one. With many taking no responsibility to prepare or learn the basics, before heading out. And, yes once again the bear pays for it with it's life. That's the same story over and over again. Thank You, National Park Service, for making a hard difficult choice.
