This past month a mother and 10-month old baby were killed when a grizzly bear broke into their cabin. Valerie Theoret and her infant daughter Adele Roesholt, were found dead Monday by Theoret’s husband, Adele’s father, near Einarson Lake in the Yukon. You can read the details of the incident here.
It is a heart breaking story that according to Jim Shockey could have been pervented. He pulled no punches and put the blame directly where it belonged. Right on the shoulders of the Canadian polititions who’s bear management plan has been a total disaster.
