I don't understand this need to out do other people with getting the perfect or the coolest selfie. It's sad that had to happen. Unfortunately I don't think it will stop others.

So it turns out that this was in India and the bear was actually injured. The man sneaked up next to the bear thinking he'd get a good shot and was mauled to death. There's actually a video (from about 50 feet away) of him being dragged off by said bear. It's just as stupid of them to just film it. With that being said, my thoughts and prayers are with the deceased.

I just saw the video...there's a dog in it and he's doing more to stop the attack then all these bystanders. The guy being attacked by the bear was actually trying to punch and wrestle the bear. Crazy stuff.

I saw the video too.  Why would anyone want to take a selfie with a bear?  Do they not realize how dangerous and stupid it is?

I feel terrible for the man because it must have been an awful death!!!! However, when do people realize that wild animals are just that and they do what they are born to do?  Really, over a selfie?! People are becoming more and more crazy and distracted by technology.  Balance in all things! Pay attention to what you should and think about matters.  That's why you were provided a brain!

Who in their right mind would this.  It is just plain stupid.  Bears are not pets and should not be treated as one.  The bear is not to blame because the man was stupid

How stupid can people be?  The question is why would you put your life in danger to take a selfie with a real bear?

   Bears are the worst in the animal kingdom.
   Do not approach them.

Do you purposefully scour the internet for the most repulsive news stories imaginable? Might be time for a new hobby.

The most dangerous kind of animal is an injured one. They'll do anything to survive. It's incredibly stupid and definitely not worth the risk. It's also sick and disgusting.

It was a video that went viral and it was somewhat of national news.

I pray for his family who lost a loved one. We all do crazy things a lot and don't even realize it like the way we drive or talk to others. If you were recorded where you could see and hear yourself, you would think how crazy you must have been to do or say that. :)

Hello! :D :)

I just don't get our fascination with wild animals they are intended to kill us so stay away. If the bear is injured and in pain that probably means he is not ready for a close up I know I wouldn't be. Life is easy don't make it difficult for yourself.  :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:  :heart: :rose:

Taking photos with wild animals not a good idea dangerous and deadly.  Go to the zoo and maybe get a shot.

I often wonder if people are high on something when they make stupid decisions to take a selfie with a wild animal.  They are fenced in for a reason.  DUH!!!!
