Evolution In Action: Empty Bear Spray Canister Found At Scene Of Deadly Bear Attack

John Farnam, writing at Ammo Land, notes that the "Myth that Bear Spray Will Save You Proves Deadly Once Again." This incident involves a couple and their dog hiking in Banff National Park in Canada’s Alberta Provence. They were attacked and killed by a female grizzly bear. Their partially eaten bodies were found near their campsite along with a fully-discharged can of bear spray. As Farnam points out, "[t]he 'bear-spray will protect you' fantasy has been sold to naive hikers for years. It may work some time, yet this couple bet their lives on it, and it didn’t."
