Unfortunately, it seems that fewer and fewer people spend enough time in remote areas to be well educated on how to interact with wild animals. Combine that with our growing intrusion into their natural habitat and there are bound to be problems sooner or later.

Please, if you plan to hike, camp, mountain bike, etc in areas where there is a possibility of encountering potentially dangerous animals, take the time to learn how to deal with chance encounters. Most animals, even aggressive predators, can be avoided pretty easily with a bit of knowledge.
