Wildlife expert blames 'woke' politics for Washington bear attack
Fox News
A bear attack over the weekend was completely preventable, according to one wildlife expert, who said "woke" restrictions by the state of Washington led to the attack.
At issue was a black bear attack over the weekend in a residential area of Leavenworth, Washington, where a 68-year-old woman walking her dog sustained "significant injuries" and was hospitalized. Michael Lee is a writer at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter @UAMichaelLee
The woman's terrifying fight with the bear lasted roughly 15 seconds, with the woman punching the animal several times before it finally ran off. Wildlife officials then used a Karelian bear dog to track the animal. The bear was located later that morning with two cubs, with officials capturing the cubs and killing the adult female bear.
