First bears do eat prey alive, most predators do. Second siberian bears are known man-eaters, always have been that is why the bear in the national symbol there. How could any of you blame a momma for feeding her young? I understand eliminating possible threats but why kill these bears when there are many more ready to take their place. People seem to think we need a "safe" world with no threats to humans. With that mentality we need to just kill every murderer, rapist, tobacco exec, alcohol brewer/distiller, do away with cars, boats, planes, and motorcycles; wrap ourselves in bubblewrap and lock ourselves indoors. What kind of people would this produce. Natural selection keeps the human race evolving forward, the more danger the more n.selection process works. I say let the bears be and let the ill-equiped people be eaten. Personally I am not afraid of wild animals and would fare well if I needed to protect myself. People seem to forget predators live everywhere and make their living by being hard to spot, just know that the next time you are on that natural walking path or in the state park fishing there could be a cougar or bear around the next bend waiting for something they can overtake to stroll by, lunch.
On another note it would be very horrible to hear something like that happening to a loved one.
