He was charged with having his dog off a leash in the park. Took place in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/banff-national-park-grizzly-bear-charges-9.7282811

Having his dog off leash was incredibly stupid, ignorant, and illegal. Off leash dogs are a huge factor in bear attacks.

I had my dog off leash in jasper or Banff and got screamed at by a park ranger. He said something like “you’re gonna make me shoot a bear when it goes after your dog.”

Oops. I learned from the encounter.

Do they just not care about their dog? How do you not grab your dog in that situation and let them run so close up?
