Here's a vid of event, the bear was not all that big actually and he was fully occupied with ravaging this dude, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf5G928jqJI

Yeah that's F'ed up! Still a bear is pretty strong, it doesn't look like that guy put up any fight for his life.

Not to make light of it but there's been in the past a lot of stories of young women being raped and no one doing anything. They don't seem to be a compassionate lot...

Guy stops to take a leak and see's a bear, (apparently hurt somehow) resting, he then gets the bright idea to take a selfie with said bear. Bear is not amused and proceeds to maul + kill him, on-goers were taking video of the event but none tried to help. This happened in India BTW, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...h-indian-man-who-tried-take-selfie/585843002/
My favorite part of the story, "The bear is being treated for its injuries"..
Found vid of incident, warning, very graphic, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf5G928jqJI

Holy bejesus that's horrific wtf is with the people videoing it rather then running up with rocks and sticks something.

If they did that, then we wouldn't have a fun video to watch. Then again, if at least some of them did, the video might have been even more entertaining.

....just to say: I'm not terribly concerned about idiots trying to entertain themselves by aggravating an injured bear...let alone people that want to save the idiot from his idiocy.

Some of the video is missing. He was standing up and looked like he could of gotten away and then the video cuts to him on the ground. Bear experts will tell you never struggle if they get a hold of you, roll into a ball with your hands behind your head to protect your neck and your knees up to your head and try not to move. That's just excites the bear more. But if the bear was sick who knows. Probably shot.

And this statement was weird “The bear is being treated for its injuries,” considering;

"Earlier this month, a wild bear killed three people, including two forest officials, in Keonjhar district and injured six others. The animal was later beaten to death by locals."
