An Idaho man killed a grizzly bear when it entered his yard where his 5 kids were playing. I don't know the threat details, but I would assume that Jeremy Hill felt the need to protect his kids. Mr. Hill lives near the Canadian border in between two bear management areas. Now the Feds have charged him with an Endangered Species violation. The locals are not amused and the judge had to move the arraignment to larger quarters. Mr. Hill faces a year in jail and $50,000 fines.

Ever wonder how many bear attacks are fatal? The numbers amazed me. Wikipedia provides: List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America
Aside: This is another case where the British papers seem to be covering North American news better than the local ones. That is my personal poll and bears no statistical validity.
