Grizzled!

Hello.

A woman who was preparing for a jog in Kenai, Alaska was severely injured in a bear attack. Ariean Fabrizio Colton got grizzled.

The woman was mauled when she got into the zone of a large grizzly bear.

Colton, 36, a mother of three, suffered "severe injuries" during the attack and will require "extensive surgeries and a long hospital stay," her family said on a fundraising page. 

"She made it probably 50 yards from her house," Alaska Wildlife Trooper David Lorring told KTUU-TV. "The bear came out of another property, it looks like it attacked her ... and dragged her approximately 100 yards down the road onto this guy’s property."

Lorring told the station that one of Colton’s neighbors heard the bear in the predawn hours. 

"He heard the barking, wolfing sound of a bear, he’d been around bears before and he thought a bear might have got a dog or was doing something in the neighborhood," he said. "He didn’t really think much of it and then he heard it some more. He ended up – daylight, he walked out there and located a female in the woods on his property." 

Colton’s family said they had just moved to Alaska this summer. 

"Ariean is a loving wife, mother of three, and a nurse, known for her adventurous spirit and love of nature," the family said. "She is extremely kind-hearted, strong, and resilient, and is always willing to help those in need."

Colton had left her house for her run and was attacked around 5:45 in the morning, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said in a release. 

Colton was taken by medivac with serious injuries to a hospital, officials said. The family explained that the Coltons live more than two hours away from a hospital. 

Alaska authorities are searching for the bear, believed to be a brown bear, on foot and via drone, but haven’t found it yet. 

Patrols of the area will continue, DPS said. 

Bears are native to Alaska. The most dangerous bears in Alaska are the brown (grizzly) and polar bear. The polar bear alone is able to attack and kill despite what you're supposed to do when preventing a bear attack.

1. Cover your trash, do not leave any food out and make sure you have no strong perfumes or lotions. Bird feeders, open garbage cans, barbecue pits, carion and illegal dumps are areas for bears to feed.

2. Do not approach a bear while eating, circulating around its cubs or trapped inside a vehicle or home. If a bear does get locked inside a vehicle, stay away and let the animal escape on its own. If a bear does get into your home, make noises, use a large stick, bear spray, penny cans or break glass to scare it. If you do lock a bear inside a room, you put yourself at danger of the animal destroying your home.

3. Make yourself big, uses bear spray, an air horn, shake coin cans or make noises to scare bears. Most bears except polar bears are afraid of human contact. If you encounter polar bears, the unfortunate option is firearms. Polar bears will attack despite efforts to prevent it. In most states it is illegal to shoot bears without justification. Wildlife officials have legal jurisdiction to euthanize, shoot or remove bears.

4. As with all animals, bears are unpredictable. If people are feeding bears, they become less afraid and are willing to invade properties in search of food. Humans feeding bears steals the natural abilities these animals have when it comes to searching for food and shelter.

Can we get the Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I don't get why some of these people believe it's their mission to disrupt the lives of others. 

This is why Republicans are idiots. Democrats are idiots too but at least some of them have the sense to not engage in stupidity. Not saying all Republicans are idiots, but definitely the ones who voted for President Donald J. Trump are.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

Interacting with uncontacted people is dangerous. Well, they are.... you know!"
