The biologists would have you believe these attacks are just isolated incidents. Considering that the grizzly population in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem is reputed to be between 500-800 bears, there have been 3 attacks this year. Last year there were 2 deaths in YNP as a result of grizzly bear attacks. I have no problem with the theory that if you get out of your car you take your chances with these bears. What bothers me is the "experts" claiming these attacks are isolated incidents. They aren't isolated instances and if it were humans attacking humans it would be classified as a crime wave. The grizzly bear is "pissy" and does not play well with others. That is the truth that these experts should be spreading.
