Notable Instances of Bear Spray Failures Banff National Park, Canada: In one of Canada's deadliest grizzly encounters, two experienced backpackers seemingly emptied a can of bear spray while battling a predatory grizzly bear, but the animal persisted. Tanana Uplands, Alaska: While conducting environmental surveys, a wildlife biologist and her colleague were stalked and attacked by a black bear. A desperate attempt to deploy pepper spray failed to stop the predatory attack, resulting in a fatality. Glacier National Park, Montana: Search-and-rescue crews recovered an empty can of bear spray near the body of a hiker in what appeared to be a fatal surprise encounter with a grizzly bear. Wyoming Backcountry: Experienced guide Mark Uptain was fatally mauled by a grizzly bear after he successfully deployed bear spray. Though the initial spray deterred the bear, it returned to fiercely defend its kill.We used to just kill predators that were near human populations. Now in the name of conservation and being humane we give predators protections that prohibit people from actually defending themselves. We make stupid excuses like, "well the chances of being attacked are rare, they're usually more afraid of you than you are of them" or other nonsense. I'm older than most here and when I grew up bears, wolves, coyotes, and even fox were rare in the rural area I lived, and I grew up camping, fishing, spending whole days and nights in the woods and never saw even tracks of predators that could endanger even kids. We didn't need bear spray because if people saw a bear they'd just shoot it and so kids, women, and even unarmed adults were usually much safer because even when there were high level predators they were afraid of humans. Suicidal empathy isn't a good thing. I get that humans are consuming more and more space on Earth, but we should still limit where predators are allowed to populate near humans. Reply
