It happens in nature like the article says. I'm worried some people will attack the zoo employees for "allowing" it to happen, or go after the mama bear. Which would be extreme but you know people. I picked this article because of the cuddly pics of the cubs which may add to the emotional impact of whichever side you take.

not usual for mama bears in the wild. this usually happens in the wild by opportunity from unknown male bears

I remember seeing a grown male lion chasing down and killing male lion cubs on the Discovery Channel once, that was kind of fucked up to see as a little kid lol. Basically the adult recognized the threat the other male cubs could pose in the future and stopped it early.

That's horrible. They should put that mother bear in prison for the rest of her life. Oh wait...
