When you don't have guns, you have to cull a bear with sticks.

I wouldn't want to tell them, but I think it is a different bear that they killed. The bear that was attacking the man was huge and the one that was killed wasn't all that big.

Agreed, that didn't look like the same bear. Crazy that it kept at it with all those people around. Sad that no one had the means to deter it before it caused three deaths.

Had no idea there were bears in India.... Having hunted a few with sharp sticks...... how do you hunt one with clubs??? Maybe snared it first?
Guess they don't see em as cows......
“The forest officials have issued a warning to the villagers to avoid going out at night anywhere nearby the area as it is frequented by elephants and bears.”
That's got to be one of the craziest phrases I've ever read..... dayamn.....

India has black bears, sloth bears and brown bears. I went on safari there in 1989 and had a great time.

Mint - do bears and tigers frequent the same areas? Seems that would not be a good place to camp!
