She said "the actual chances of being killed are quite low" and then said 14%. I would NOT say 14% is "quite low" when talking about CHANCE OF DEATH.
What she means is, 14% of those who get attacked by a grizzly, die. So, even if you get attacked by one, you will likely live (not that I’d take my chances!). She just worded it really poorly.
yeah, if you survive you're usually permanently disfigured
@@user-xn3jn6bw8m
Hiking?
@@user-xn3jn6bw8m They caused the death of both the bear AND the poor dog!! 😡💔😭
And before that 14 percent is basically zero
Gotta go be careful when you let your dog off a leash in areas of bear country. Often bears will follow dogs to the campsite and dogs can be either aggressive towards bears or act as a prey by running away (either playfully or not) thus triggering the bear into an attack mode. Not saying that this is what happened in this case but its something to think about.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea
Also, keep it on a breakaway leash, tethered to the outside of the tent. They had it inside, where it is almost useless as bait.
Just don't bring a dog.
Thanks jakep the bear expert of YT.
@@V.E.R.O. i feel bad for the dog the most, humans had a choice
"Euthanized for public safety..." why? Its a remote wilderness area and home to wild animals.
100%
I DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THE BEAR 💔😭
Says the person that never ventures into the wilderness...
@@robert5697 Maybe don't invade a wild animal's habitat for a fun little walk? When there are parks and streets made for humans away from wildlife, away from danger? It is truly not rocket science.. maybe for you it is though
@@chele-chele Don't go into the wilderness if you can't protect yourself. Got an animal killed for being in THEIR habitat, doing what bears will naturally do. Survive.
You do NOT take a dog into grizzly territory. Bear see the dog as a wolf, a competitor. In the brain wiring sends immediate attack command. A hyper barking dog angers a bear
Yes DO NOT TAKE DOG hiking with you please we are in BEAR COUNTRY RESPECT
These couples were supposedly avid hikers?
@@Native722 then they would know not to bring a dog into grizzly country. grizzlies hate dogs. bear will go after a dog which runs straight to you.
@@Native722avid CAMPERS. Big difference.
A hyper barking dog angers me too...🤷♂️
They were not "doing what they loved". They were dying a horrific death, being torn limb from limb, because they were in bear country in the fall when the bears are getting ready for hibernation. They were stupid, and cost the bear and their dog their lives. THAT is NOT "doing what you love".
You sound like the type of guy who makes every excuse to not go outside.
@@null2470you know, there are a whole lot of places outside that aren't filled with hungry bears. I don't really see the correlation between not wanting yourself or others to be in bear country during the most dangerous time of year and going outside in general.
Shut up.
They should've been armed with guns.
@@null2470And you sound like the type of guy who makes every excuse to not avoiding serious and obvious perils. Hiking in a bear territory during fall is a hell of a risk.
They knew the risk and they chose to gamble with their lives. The bears have no choice and they do what comes naturally.
EAT.
The bear had a choice.
No it didn't. It was hungry and saw food.@@lok777
dont be ridiculous@@lok777

At least they found them in stead of not finding them
@@sessions9869found them and what? They’re dead and now so is the bear.
@phillydiscoIf you make the choice to go hiking where you know there are grizzlies, then you are assuming that risk.........
@phillydiscothe only "bear spray" i use is 00 buckshot, and thats if the bears lucky.
@@-WhizzBang-If you actually did some more research before talking out of your ass... you would know they found 2 empty bear spray in site of the attack. Genius
Stay out of the park in fall. Or stay out period. Its not worth the risk. Don't take your pets either. Omg this is awful..Heartbreaking.
As seasoned hikers they knew what they risked going into that remote area of the Rockies at that time of year. Not smart at all and to bring the dog as well.... poor dog had no choice.
No manage the over population of bears!
I hope a bear has its way with you
@@betsyj59 That stupid couple is to blame for both the death of the dog AND the bear!! 😡😡
@@coyotedustlet's hunt those suckers
The tent had been erected and they both had their hiking boots off. They used an entire can of bear spray trying to repel the grizzly. The bear was a very old female in poor condition that may not have survived the coming winter. She was likely desperate for food.
Thanks for more info . That explains alot .
I think they would have been better off if they sprayed the bear with a lead sprayer.
I don't think you can call them experts when they go into heavy bear area right before hibernation lmfao
look at other experts in our world.
Such a tragedy!
I was in Banff in 2006. Beautiful! I would take a walk through the forest every day.
But, as a New Yorker not used to wildlife encounters, when the signs about bears coming down for the berries appeared, I discontinued my walks immediately!
they will swipe off ur berries if u know what i mean
They want to snack on ur berries if you catch my drift champ, eh.
You didn’t pitch a tent and hedge your bets? 😂
WoW! Yur Smart!
NY? Enjoy your 💩💉!
As a fellow long islander I brought my rifle to Montana to go hiking
Bears doing bear things.... and you keep going farther and farther in their lands.
Exactly my thoughts encroach more and mire in their territories what do you expect
Hate when an animal is destroyed for being in its natural habit and being itself then is killed because of humans.
Me too. It's messed up.
100% killed because of humans.
It’s a DISGRACE 😡💔😭
Agreed 💯
@@Josh-ky2oc Go to school and learn some English.

They're not Your Friends...... they Don't Know You, they don't want to Know You.
@@jason-hy8cihas nothing to do with being friends though you'd have a better chance if you understood bear sounds, their smell, dwellings your distance respect works both ways
You're more like friendly food to them.
Remember its hibernation season in the north makes them aggressive and quicker to attack if theyre lacking fat for winter or think you are taking food from them. Stay out of the woods in bear season its just best unfortunately 😞
Berry season was the shits this year.
@@R.S.G879 google is your friend.
Hiking in the remote Rockies might not be a very smart idea right at the time Bears are frantically loading up on food for hibernation.
WOW! Amazing that a 14% death rate is 'really quite low.' The last line always gets me~ 'they were doing what they loved, with the person they loved.' I'm sure that's what they thought while they were being EATEN ALIVE! "Gee, honey, I couldn't be happier! I'm so glad we're together for this trip. BTW, where's Fido?" 😵
I know, RIGHT???
It's a risk you choose to take when you hike in their territory without bear spray. So tragic.
they had bear spray.. empty can found ..
@@cheryllawson9616so did they have bear spray or did they have an empty can of bear spray? Besides, bear spray is not incredibly effective. You have to use it from a distance, already knowing the bear is there. If it's already in mid attack bear spray does nothing.
It was reported that 2 empty cans of bear spray were found.Who knows how it was used.. It could have been determined if the spray was recently used..what we know for sure is they are gone.. @@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466
14% is NOT quite low!
bears are high stressed pushed out of and into new territories from fires makes for overcrowding of wildlife and lack of resources as well as dangerous encounters
Sometimes that bucket list stuff in Bear country can be dangerous and fatal. Sometimes if a dog is off the leash, the dog will lead the bear back to it's owners.
Agree. That's out of the "Bear Attacks - causes and avoidance" book. I thought dogs were banned in Banff Park for this reason.
it was 8, its dark, they had already set up camp. likely already cooked or in process of cooking dinner.
It doesn't sound like these were bucket listers, but quite experienced.
total myth
if that were the case, they werent following the rules, dogs on leash is one of them....
I strongly believe you should be armed with more than bear spray when your in certain areas theres real big bears in Alberta
Bear bangers.
Exactly!
Unfortunately the desire to virtue signal has impaired Canadians ability to critical think about this .
It's a national park, no guns allowed. You should carry bear spray, its more than enough of a deterrent
My bet is on the bear... or the guy with a firearm.
Grizzlies are no joke
This is tragic...lesson learned here is not to bring a dog into grizzly territory. Rest in peace....
The follow up story today said it was a 25 yr old female griz with poor teeth and less fat than normal. A desperate bear.
More like stay out of the grizzy domain what do they think is gona happen a friendly cuddly bear no you will end up on the menu.
@@brianbutler6246 grizzly terrain is the outdoors of western Alberta and BC. So don't ever come here then. Lol
No, the lesson is, don't go hiking in Grizzly territory. Period.
@@-WhizzBang-Bring a gun
A SPOT (GPS) isn't going to do much until after an attack. IF you survive. Bear spray is a minimum.
if they had that much expertise, why would you take a dog into bear territory, ? how unfortunate for everyone involved.😢
All woods is potential bear country
My dog chases bears off. we hike all over east Idaho and SW Montana near yellow stone. she has chased of grizzlies. I think we've had like 3 attacks this year in the area.
@@pokerman9108if you keep rolling the dice like that a hungry enough bear might come along and turn your dog into an appetizer. You've been nothing but extremely lucky.

I don't think it's just the dog. The bears are in hyperphagia this time of year. It probably just wanted to store some energy by eating anything in sight!
If you can't defend yourself against attacks out there, don't go.
yes so true, its better to have a gun and not need it' then for you to need a gun and not have one

Thats crazy they killed the bear its at home, and how did they know which bear did it? Rest in peace to all involved
They took DNA samples from the bear, which confirmed that it was the same bear that killed the couple and their dog. It was a 25 year old malnorished female bear with very bad teeth.
Well it killed the dog so fair game
Who gives af about the bear 😂
@@surfingtothestars Exactly
@nonni139 did they show the body?
I wouldn't take a dog into bear country, they aggravate wildlife.

Keep hearing that every time, it's so rare that it happens. I don't think it's as rare as they make out
@phillydisco I wouldnt bet my life or my family life on it being that rare
wow who wouldve thought grizzlies might be in the back country smh
very handy to have a ''little thing'' to let your family know a bear is eating you !
tell Bobby to erase my internet history before I die!
Stay out of the woods in the fall, usually hunting season is going on and not only do you scare deer,elk, etc etc you frighten bears as well.
Exactly
Yeah exactly. I go into the woods in the fall. But with my 338 win mag as I'm a hunter
Were they not very recently speaking about grizzlies being seen nearer to Banff this year than they usually are?
Banning hunting of them there will be alot more attacks
The location where this attack occurred is over 50 miles from the town of Banff - and over several major mountain ranges.
@@zulucharlie5244
50 miles is close when it applies to how easily bears can cover terrain and distances.
@@zulucharlie524450 miles isn’t a lot when you’re a wild animal and you got 30 years of life expectancy
The boss has been spotted right in Banff eating off fruit trees in people's yard
Im sure it was a horrible death , i feel for the bear as well, its a wild animal living in its natural habitat acting on instinct. Read an article where it was stated that the couple knew bear and safety protocols and followed them to a T ,even deployed a whole can of bear spray, however bears follows no such protocols..Grizzly bears are apex predators who are known for eating their prey while it's still alive.They can be extremely territorial , specially if they are guarding their prey, stumbling upon a sow and her cubs can be deadly ,or you can have animal that is sick and /or injured who can't fend for itself like a healthy animal can.While bear attacks and fatalities are rare, me personally I don't venture anywhere near bear territory.
Feel for the bear? Ruthess killer No mercy from me
I agree, it's sad that the couple and their parished in the attack but the bear was put down as well. It doesn't make sense
@@mjsmcd Ruthlesss killer? The bear is doing what bears do they're predators. I no longer hike in bear country.
Humans are wild animals living in their natural habitat.
@@123hkopm123 that is not true, humans are not wild animals
I'm going to say something that may be seen as unkind but, you don't go into the ocean without the expectation of being killed by a shark so why would you venture into the forest without the same expectation. Once human beings leave their well manicured cities and local parks and venture into the wild that's the animals home and humans despite how awesome we think that we are once we enter their playground we go back into the natural food chain along with our pets, play stupid games win stupid prizes but I'm also not heartless because my heart does go out to their friends and family. Respect nature, we all have to share this planet.
There is nothing unkind about stating facts about the realities of the wild.
Nature is cruel!!
Well said 👍👍

Nature is not cruel…that’s a human perspective applied to natural behaviour.
I get what you mean though…play with fire and expect to be burned.
You go into the bear's homeland so you better know the rules.
Experienced hikers? Anyone hiking in bear country in the fall is looking for trouble. Anyone taking a dog into bear country anytime, leashed or otherwise, is bucking for a Darwin Award. My sympathies are for the bear that paid for their stupidity with its life.
yes never go anywhere. the other millions of canadians and hundreds of millions of hikes would suggest otherwise.
@@RainCity3rd that's not what they said.
Exactly
@@RainCity3rd Strawman
It’s truly astounding that you can have empathy for a bear but none for human beings who obviously died a horrific death. Do even have a single loving relationship with anyone in your life?
"We carry our Garmin intouch, in the event of a bear attack...unless they can't get to you by helicopter, of which they'll hike out and if you haven't been eaten..rescued!"
Dog was so loyal you know he tried to help when he could of ran away so sad for the couple. Its a slow painful death.
mebe dog provoked bear
I feel so bad for the dog 💔😭😭
Probably started the whole altercation.
I keep thinking of Steinbeck's classic "Travels with Charlie" where he's stopped at the entrance to Yellowstone Park by a ranger who sees Charlie (a pampered and fancy-clipped standard poodle) in the camper and says "You can't that dog into the park" Steinbeck wins out claiming Charlie's a big city wuss that's never growled in his life, and he'll stay real quiet in the camper, and wins over the ranger......the rest, well, let's just say Charlie's French Hunting dog DNA makes a surprise showing, much to Steinbeck's shock!
He ran the bear straight into the tent.
"Every Man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in humanity" That said, the Parks weren't created to provide pretty places to take your dog for a walk. They were created to provide a haven for the magnificent animals that only exist in the secret places of the forest, a place that is no longer secret or a haven. What did the bear do that demanded a death sentence?
Killed two humans.
@@nathanhaley1353 did this take place in a city?
Humans took away their habitat leaving them to fend for themselves, ultimately the dead sentence.
@@nathanhaley1353 And??? Your point? What did it do that it shouldn't have done in its own environment?
OP asked a question I provided the answer, it detailed the reason in the video.
Grizzlies are not stopped by the bear spray , don’t kid yourselves!
I'd take 12 gauge bear spray at the very least.
People's are getting more bolder and brazenly by the day. Everyone wants to be up and close on these animals.
Like that Treadwell guy.
You should always have bells on your shoes and carry pepper spray when hiking in bear country. Also check any bear scat you see on the trail. If the scat contains bells or smells like pepper you know there's a dangerous bear around.
Feel horrible for these individuals and their dog. Would definitely want to be prepared as this is the bears home.
100% CORRECT.
It’s everyone’s home, not just the bears home. Yep, definitely bring a gun out in the wild just in case.

Most of Canada’s bush is provincial crownland where you can carry a shotgun. I wouldn’t hike in the Park where you must be unarmed.
This is exactly what I do - stay out of the national parks, carry a firearm (rifle).
Cannot agree more with you!
and there's the simple solution if you want to carry a gun in the bush.
Amen
Wrong your allowed to carry a non restricted firearm. Not just a shotgun
I have camped at Sunset Guiding for over a decade. About 10km from the attack. Bears are always around, they don't want to meet you anymore than you wantto meet them
Yup, worked the bush for yrs, lived in it too. My guess is the dog was out and away from them; I've done that too so I am not pointing fingers.
Absolutely. Their dog was killed too
According to couple's relative, it is theorized from all the info known by them and park's team that hiked in to find/recover them, the 3 were attacked while in their tent.
I have since seen the interview with the relative detailing everything. @@shawna3350

Bear attacks are increasing because bear habitat is being destroyed across BC and Alberta. Bears are being driven into more populated areas.
It's a Park. The Bear belongs there.
This should be a "what might happen" if you go out into the wilderness where animals call it home
Poor dog had no choice or chance. Humans should have known better by educating themselves.

no they dont; most of the time they flee
Most of the time if their hungry they’ll eat you ! 💔 🐻
i can.
Same goes for cities. How many random murders per year? I'll take my chances with bears personally.
Bears are always dangerous because they are highly unpredictable. Wolves and cougars are much less random.
Curious to know how they were made aware of the bear attack.... They mentioned a bear attack alert in the area.
The couple activated the GPS locator beacon they carried with them and sent the text “bear attack”.
Weird Darwinian sub clause; if reports of hurricane waves, grizzlies or police shootouts occurred then approach with extreme curiously and infallibility.
@@wasidanatsali6374that didn’t help except locate their dead bodies
I suspct that at that point in time that would be the mission..no one is going to survive ..
So they euthanized the bear because the couple was too stupid to carry bear spray??? Seriously? Who goes out on wildlife trails without proper gear.
From the details, both e-readers were on in the tent when the search team arrived & the tent was trampled, so presumably they were in the tent & attacked. It's not easy to deploy bear spray in a tent attack when you're in the tent.
They did have bear spray. You're going to be the next one who gets eaten if you think that crap is enough. Goofy Canadians.
Remember in Canada you are not allowed to carry weapons to defend yourself.
yes because it would be better if everyone hiking in the backcountry would be equally at home on the front lines of Ukraine... so much safer!
In a situation like hiking in bear country, you should be allowed to carry a gun. I would prefer a pistol, less weight. There is a product called Bear Bangers and they fire a noisy charge, that might help. Bear spray is too close for comfort.
you can have a gun out in the wilderness, just not in the national parks.
Ya , call the rcmp they will rush tight over if your a foreigner but if your Canadian you are screwed
So parks Canada can euthanize it but you can't carry a sidearm for protection.
Everyone get warned all the time..Banff is great but wow be careful ..we were told to stay off trails even the city trails during fall season and spring ..my condolences to the families
Bear attacks are pretty rare but taking a dog into bear country increases your chances of getting their attention and then doing it this time of year when they're getting ready for winter is definitely not advised. Sorry this happened, what a horrible way to go.
Stop it bear attacks are not rare y'all keep saying that but bears killed a lady just a month ago bear attacks are common
The bear expert doesn't seem so concerned about the attack...grizzly bear attacks are very common in banff.
how common are they?
No, they are not.
How common are bear attacks in Banff?
"Bear attacks are rare occurrences. Fatal bear attacks are even less frequent. Over the last 10 years, there have been three recorded non-fatal, contact encounters with grizzly bears in Banff National Park. These incidents were the result of surprise encounters " -google
Nope....it happens a lot, just not reported to the public.
@@alschmidt8963 meh.
Sad story all the way around. Hiking in bear country means you shouldn't be surprised to have encounter, especially this time of year. Bears do what comes naturally to them, and sadly this one paid the ultimate price for human ignorance.

No mention of taking the dog being a bad idea
Expertise? You take a dog to the backcountry during hibernation without bear mace or a firearm? SUCH EXPERT
Maybe parks should close the backcountry earlier in the season.
Well bears belong in the woods. When you are in the woods you need to be careful. NO SELFIES WITH GRISSLY BEARS.
Feel really bad for the dog. Dogs deserve better.
Only dogs that are worth anhtning are hunting dogs, dogs as inside pets are pathetic, like their owners
what about the couple and the bear? Do they deserve better?
I always say when traveling knowing what environment you’re going into , water ,land , whatever. Bears cover a lot of ground, also your in his backyard not your own . Lives were lost and also the animals life . Never say the percent is low , always taking that risk .
So tragic ❤❤❤ 😢😢😢 to hear this .praying for everyone
Obviously, they did not have a gun...Always carry a large caliber pistol when there are bears present.
Just where I wanna live, you can’t even carry a gun to protect yourself from bears
I hate to say it BUT they were in the bears habitat, that’s their home and they were in it with a DOG knowing that bears are looking for anything they can get to eat before hibernation. Sad but completely avoidable, condolences to the family and friends of the couple. Stay safe out there everyone all the best from Scotland 🏴
Nature is beautiful
The dog is a brave dog. He did not escape himself.
the dog may have been the problem.
@@blackberrythorns was the problem, grizzly smelled that dog from where ever he was and started the decent or accent for food
I think the bear might have been agressive because of the dog.. Dogs should be kept on a leash in national parks or not introduced at all in case of apex predators encounters which might endanger their owners..
If the dog was unleashed and/or reacted to the bear it could have aggravated the bear. Since the hikers were experienced, I'm assuming the dog was at least leashed. However, even trained dogs can still be unpredictable when encountering a bear.
@@daniels7832 they didnt encounter the bear, the story says they already set up camp. meaning the bear came to them.
Bear spray and minimum of 10MM with multiple magazines should be standard in bear country.
Sounds like an advertisement for carrying a gun when hiking in grizzly country.
Possession of firearm allowed in national parks if at private premises or in motor vehicle. Must be secured in a case while travelling through the park.
Which makes them utterly useless out on the trails.

@@robdavidson2569 as a former environmental consultant who used to do pre-site assessments for oil and gas leases in alberta for a decade, a job that required me to scout land areas alone, looking for birds of prey, & bear dens prior to construction of new oil and gas leases. I can confidentally tell you, bear spray will stop a hungry grizzly in its tracks. Ive had to deploy spray literally 30+ times in over a decade against charging grizzlys literally this time of year. You quite literally have no idea what your talking about.
I trust spray more then i would trust a gun. You cant miss with spray, especially in a panic situation of being charged close range, faster to deploy as well.
@@b3n751 i live on a ranch in bear country, to each their own.
ill keep my rifle thanks.
This is why you bring a gun with you, bear spray and bear bangers dont always work.
guns don't always work either, there are more hunters killed by grizzlies than anyone else.

This is why big city folks shouldn't go to these places unprepared.
In bear/cougar habitat, each person must be armed & trained with a firearm. Ignore the laws that disarm the law abiding.
Condolences to the family
Poor dog ❤
Yes, and poor bear. Poor wolves and poor any animal that has to contend with the human atrocities. I thought that the initial purpose of our national parks was to provide a place for these poor creatures to live, free from man's penchant for needless slaughter. Why go into the deep wilderness where there are bound to be these apex killers? There are plenty of woodland trails closer to civilization. Leave the fauna ALONE!!
Grizzly? The one bear you don't want to run into beside a Polar bear. ... jeez!
Why wouldn’t you mention the poor dog that died along side it’s owners???? I’m glad to hear the grizzly population is coming up.
Always carry bear spray, its a proven deterrent, and NEVER bring a dog with you into grizzly country.
They were found with two empty cans of bear spray.
LOL 😂, I'll carry a gun thank you. As many times a can of spray paint has failed me while spray painting something.... I'll rely on my gun.
