I did not know that there where attacks by bears yust for the kill, I do know that some female bears will defend a territory when in heat specially if there is a woman during her period, remember that bears can smell a lot better than us, there was an incident in Sweden when one of the girls in the camping party was menstruating and was the only one "ATTACKED" the other girls in the tent where not touched, this kid came close to death but lived, I was part of the rescue effort to helivac her out of the woods.

The report says there was a bear hunt going on nearby. Maybe the bear was just trying to escape those crazy people trying to shoot it...

With all the fires that have destroyed so much food for all the animals it does not surprice me one bit if these animals are going hungry.
I am very happy that only the trailer is damaged and no one else, the kids must have been terrified.

I am sorry but Bears do not only attack for the reasons suggested. Bears do stalk humans and do kill just to kill.
Actually yes... A Dr from our area was stalked and killed by a bear at a place we frequent. Look online...woman killed by bear near Chapleau Ontario.
We knew the couple, we were there. The bear had been following them. The husband noticed every time they came ashore the same bear showed up shortly after. I won't get into details that were not made public but this bear did not kill her for food. There was no way she would have been revived by the Dr's. That came upon them. This has happened more times than this incident. Not every case hits the news.

Bears are not just unfortunately misunderstood critters. They are individuals. They will get angry and go about tearing anything they come across up. They will come after you unprovoked, if it is that bears bent. Going into bear woods without a firearm is a fools errand. At the same time many cause confrontations and get killed and injured. Several years ago a crowd chased a bear and two cubs, in the Smokies, getting within feet of the last cub. They are fortunate a bunch of these idiots didn't get killed or hurt seriously. Many were children but many were adult deliquents. Bambi will stomp you too pieces too. They don't want to be cuddled. They ant your food and if bedeviled a piece of your hide.
