Within the past two years, there have been several fatal or near-fatal black bear attacks in relatively close proximity to New Jersey. In 2002, a black bear snatched an infant from its carriage in New York’s Catskill’s region, apparently as intended food. The infant was horribly mauled and died. On July 2, 2000, a 24-year old female biathlete was attacked and killed by a black bear while training on a course near Quebec City, Canada (see International Bear News, 08/00, at p. 23). On May 22, 2000, an experienced hiker was mauled and killed by a black bear in Tennessee while waiting for her husband to return from a 1-hour side trip to go fishing. The husband returned to find the bear and its cub feeding at her body (International Bear News, 08/00, at p. 24). The bear had previously been tagged by the applicable division of fish and wildlife. On June 4, 2001, a black bear chased down, killed, and ate an 18-year old high school student in Canada. On August 28, 2001, an 81-year old woman was mauled by a black bear in her home in the Adirondack Mountains
