Swedish boy mauled by bear
What they don't mention in this article is that after having been attacked by the bear and ended up in hospital, the boy says says that since he by accident upset the hibernating bear by coming too close to her winter lear while skiing, he's not surprised that the bear did what it did. The 12-year old boy defends the bear and is more worried about the brown bear's two cubs, which are still in the lair without their mother, and glad that they don't consider killing the bear: "It felt threatened by me, so what should it do?"
If only adults having been pulled into a bear's winter lair and bitten by a shocked bear mother would have felt the same empathy...
