They say the teachers used bear spray, but it didn't work. I say kudo's for the teacher who was horribly mauled defending the kids. I hope he gets better.
But, if I lived in that type of country, I would have a weapon on me AT ALL TIMES. At least a .45 or bigger rifle.
Am I off here? Why be walking around with vulnerable kids, in an area where there are many of our natural predators who are known to feed on humans?
Plus, I've also heard bear spray only works on black bears and not on grizzly's...

Dude, I have a buddy that was mauled by a female grizzly in Montana and lived. He dropped his weapon and went for his spray as It traveled fifty yards and hit him before his weapon hit the ground. I can tell you for a fact that bear spray does work on grizzlies unless it is windy or the bear is pissed off for some reason like this female was protecting her cubs. I lived in Montana and worked in Yellowstone and can tell you if you shoot a grizzly and do not kill it you are toast and most people will not be quick enough or have enough skill to hit the target when a bear charges you. They can also climb a tree fifty feet by the time you ran ten yards.
Good for Ukraine!
