Alberta Hunter Killed by Grizzly
Sadly, bullets did not save this hunter.
From the Edmonton Sun:
Authorities believe a Calgary hunter killed by a grizzly near Sundre went down fighting, firing his weapon before dying.
An autopsy conducted on Don Peters, 51, of Calgary, yesterday confirmed the city hunter died as a result of a grizzly bear attack and an investigation at the scene concluded Peters fired his hunting rifle before being killed, said RCMP Sgt. Patrick Webb.
One day we will need these to hunt in grizzly territory:

Looks like a Transformer. And I'm fairly sure the dingbat testing this suit is gonna get himself 'tranformed' into grizzly turds.

Darwinism again.
Survival of the "fittest"?
Maybe a shot of ol' Murphy? If anything can go wrong, it just did!!!

Darwinism rules!
The idiot who tries to bitch-slap a grizzly while dressed as a Power Ranger does not get to have little idiots of his own.
'Nuff said.

So maybe the Grizzly will have to learn how to use a can opener to get its food now. Or maybe the taste of Plastic will grow on him.
