Horrifying!!!

[Guest guest]

This is so unbelievably horrific! This e-mail was forwarded to me by a friend of a friend. Why are there so many animal killers in Alaska, one of the last refuges for animals?!?!? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The  pictures are of a man who works

for the US Forest Service in Alaska and the bear he had to

kill.  

 

 (killed in

self defense).

 

 

 

 

 

 

He was out deer hunting last week

when a large grizzly bear charged him from about 50 yards away.. The guy

emptied his 7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle into the bear and it dropped a few

feet from him. The big bear was still alive so he reloaded and shot it several

times in the head.

 

 

The bear was just over one thousand

six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6' high at the shoulder, 14' to the top of

his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the

world.

 

 

Of course, the Alaska Fish and

Wildlife Commission did not let him keep it as a trophy, but the bear will be

stuffed and mounted, and placed on display at the Anchorage airport to

remind tourists of the risks involved when in the wild.

 

Based on the

contents of the bears stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established

the bear had killed at least two humans in the past 72 hours including a

missing hiker.

 

 

The US Forest Service, backtracking

from where the bear had originated, found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol

emptied. Not far from the pistol were the remains of the hiker. The other body

has not been found.

 

 

Although the hiker fired six shots

and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots (the Service ultimately found

four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead

body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it

immensely.

 

 

The bear killed the hiker an

estimated two days prior to the bear's own death by the gun of the Forest

Service worker.

 

 

Think about

this:

If you are an average size man; You

would be level with the bear's navel when he stood upright. The bear would

look you in the eye when it walked on all fours!  To give additional

perspective, consider that this particular bear, standing on its hind legs,

could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or walk

up to a two story house and look in the bedroom windows.
