[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 72747, member: 220"] Bull puckey on the old wives tale of black bears not killing people. James Gary Shelton has written at least three books on bear attacks in BC. His bear survival courses are widely taught to people that work in the field in the forestry and oil exploration industries. 'Bear Attacks, The Deadly Truth' c.1998 Pogany Productions(one of his books) recalls the horrible incident regarding fatalities resulting from a black bear attack on August 14, 1997 at Liard Hot Springs in northern BC. Two of the people attacked died. Patti Reed McConnell 38, who was moving from Texas to Alaska with her two children and Ray Kitchens 57, a truck driver from Ft Nelson who tried to save her. Patti's son Kelly 13, survived the mauling as did Arie-Jan van der Velden 28 of Calgary, who was also mauled trying to save Patti, Kelly and Ray. 'Conservation Officer Myron Zukewich gave the author a brief account of the attacks and the injuries. "It was a clear-cut predatory attack," Myron said, "and there is no evidence that it was a dump bear. You can quote me. It had no garbage odor, burn marks, or cuts on it's feet or tongue, and it's stomach was full of natural foods." Myron estimated the bear's weight at about 225 pounds; it was under-weight by about 75 pounds, but not starving.' end quote ~ Book Review and Shelton's website: [url=http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/trawler-buy-sell-trade/2001-February/000791.html]http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/traw ... 00791.html[/url] [url=http://www.direct.ca/cabc/index.html#anchorHome]http://www.direct.ca/cabc/index.html#anchorHome[/url] More information: [url=http://www.bearsinbc.com/pages/01black/01conflicts.html]http://www.bearsinbc.com/pages/01black/01conflicts.html[/url] [url=http://www.direct.ca/cabc/4EnUp.html]http://www.direct.ca/cabc/4EnUp.html[/url] Take care.
