Two Idaho hunters are lucky to be alive after an encounter with a crazed backwoods-dwelling cannibal ended with the flesh-eating monster ended in a hail of gunfire, KTVB reports. The cannibal was actually a grizzly bear, because haha National Zero so clever with stupid headlines and ledes constructed using purposeful omissions, and the fucked up part is it was reportedly charging at the hunters to get at the corpse of a black bear they had already killed and bagged earlier.
Which is pretty gross when you think about it. Maybe you want to think the grizzly was looking to avenge a fellow bear or whatever because it’s natural to anthropomorphize them into having a noble intent. But we’re pretty sure that isn’t the case and it just wanted to eat bear meat. It’s almost as gross as seeing New York City pigeons peck at a partially eaten chicken thigh discarded on the sidewalk. That’s basically cannibalism too. We’ll give a pass to the raptor that swoops down from its nest on the side of a building and grabs that pigeon though. Birds gotta eat too.
