On August 7th 2015 Lance Crosby was hiking alone in Yellowstone National Park. What then happend is still unclear, although it is believed his death was a result of an attack by a female Grizzly Bear. This bear has two cubs and if the DNA samples match up to the ones on Crosby, the female bear will be euthanised. Furthermore, her cubs will also be euthanised if park officials cannot find somewhere to rehome them.
Please join me in trying to prevent the death of these three bears. If the female bear is found to be the source of Crosby's death, please understand that this was a one off attack by her and she was just acting on her natural instincts, to protect her cubs. I do not believe that euthanising these animals is going to achieve anything positive, is it going to prevent other bears from thinking twice before attacking? Of course not! We visit these parks to appreciate the beauty of animals in nature, why then kill them when they act instinctively? Bear attacks that happen in any national park (which is very rare - there have only been eight bear fatalities in the last hundred years at Yellowstone) are not a case of bears going on rampages looking for humans to attack, they act this way when they feel threatend, it is after all us humans who are invading their territory.
If the people deciding the bears fates are so worried about attacks, why not kill all of the bears? If this female was capable of attacking a human, I have no doubt that other bears are too… In fact, why not kill all species that pose a threat to humans… wouldn't that be great, problem solved… Or, accept that there are risks involved in exploring places in the wild and appreciate that these events are rare - do not euthanise wild animals for any fatalities caused when humans invade their territories, in other words…
WHY GIVE BEARS A DEATH SENTENCE FOR BEING BEARS?
So, let's let Yellowstone Park Superintendent Dan Wenk know that we want the bears to be free to be bears in Yellowstone for the rest of their lives!

I really thought this might just disappear into the void but looking at how many people actually care about these bears is honestly overwhelming. It is just wild to think so many of you are paying attention to this and I honestly have not stopped refreshing the page since things started moving so fast.

When man wanders through the bear's natural habitat, he knows that he is taking risks. How unfortunate the death of Mr. Crosby may be, the bear was just acting in her natural way and probably trying to be protect her cubs. Do you really want to kill a mother who was trying to protect her children?
The problem is not with the bears it is with the people. The parks need to limit the number of visitors who will need to stay in their cars where they will be safe. People are attacked because they are in the bears' territory and show a lack of respect and intelligence as to this species. People...stay in your cars, stop feeding them and leave the bears alone!!
This petition says it all. Why kill wild bears or any wild animal when humans knowingly excurge where they live with all the dangers that entails. killing one animal is not going to cause a behavioural shift in the whole species toward humans who knowingly hike in their habitats.
Do we kill every hunter who takes down other animals??? Sheesh, and there are way fewer of these bears than there are humans - closer to being endangered than we are!
If a stranger enter your house and got killed by your family members in the house...Will you put down your family members? No? But they killed someone and justice has to be done!

Critical areas, such as the protein rich cutworm moth sources are not protected nor is the habitat connectivity linking these locations. Every single food source is critical to the survival of bears. FWS is NOT protecting the species, they are protecting ranchers and hunters desire to kill off bears/

Why do we always have to kill bears who are just trying to survive? Just relocate them and my GOD teach humans to respect this fact!
