Last Bear Attack Story For 2003
RIA Novosti was told in the Kamchtka search-rescue detachment that a bear tore a man to pieces in the Kronotsky wildlife refuge. One of the oldest workers of the Kronotsky wildlife refuge and well-known Kamchatka photographer and hunting specialist Vitaly Nikolayenko fell victim to a big bear 1.5 kilometres from the station on the territory of the wildlife refuge. Another bear "expert", seems to be a trend. Nikolayenko was taking a photograph of the beast and failed to use the weapon he was carrying when the bear attacked him. "Damm, I canât seem to keep him in focus, itâs almost like heâs coming closer.........Shit!" The rescue workers brought the body to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. "Ivan, whatâs in the baggie?" "Vitaly, whatâs left of him, anyway." A total of about 600 Kamchatka bears live on the territory of the Kronotsky wildlife refuge but cases of attacks on man by beasts of prey are extremely rare. And extremely fatal. Posted by: Steve 2003-12-31 |
