GATLINBURG, Tenn. - Officials at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park say a black bear mauled an 8-year-old Florida boy and the boy's father was injured while defending him. Park rangers later killed a bear matching the description of the one in the attack. Park spokesman Bob Miller saysthe bear approached Evan Pala of Boca Raton, Fla., while he was playing in a creek at about 7:30 p.m. Monday. Miller says the bear attacked the boy, was driven off and came back a second time. Miller says the father was able to chase the bear away with rocks and sticks. The boy suffered some puncture wounds that were serious but not believed to be life-threatening. The father, John Pala, suffered several cuts during the attack. ___ Information from: The Knoxville News Sentinel, http://www.knoxnews.com (Sounds like the bear wanted to eat the kid) __________________ "...but to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not soundness of heart."

Didnt you know there are two types of black bears? One is the ordinary black bear that may be aggressive, and the other is the Jersey black bear that would never hurt a fly and like to hugged and petted!!!! __________________ Member FMBA local 21

Only the eighth confrontation in a decade.
I guarantee they were provoking the bear trying to feed it and call it. If you have never been to Pidgon Forge or Gatlinburg you wouldn't know how frequent and unafraid these bears are. Every time over the mountain you see at least one bear and thirty cars. Its a shame on both sides of this story. |
