Yesterday an Italian motorcyclist was killed by a bear on the Transfagarasan road in Romania. According to reports the motorcyclist stopped to feed a bear with 2 cubs. Unfortunately the bears hang out more and more near the road since they got used to being fed by tourists. Every year there are stories of people being attacked by bears they tried to fed. If you visit Romania please don’t feed the bears and don’t leave your car to take photos.
I’ve given up cycling to Brasov and beyond for fear of bears. And I wanted to.

It’s quite frankly, amazing to me that some people are actually so stupid as to need signs saying to not feed fucking BEARS, and at the same time there are people so far beyond stupid that they IGNORE that sign.

It does take a very naive person to think he can hang around bear cubs and not get **revenanted**

Dont fuck with a bear where you are not in control, and 10 times more so when the bear is a mother with cubs.

Well, that’s going to be a *very* short inquest.

You can tell from the photo that he was super close to the cubs. Wtf. Like do you have a death wish? He was:
1. Approaching a bear
2. Approaching a bear with cubs
3. Approaching the cubs first
How dumb do you need to be.

Cubs. Death

You must start stealing their food in order to survive! 😀
Jokes aside, common sense saves lives!

Oh so we can assume he stopped to take a photo of a female bear with cubs and for mauled as a result?
Lessions learned don’t fuck with bears that have cubs.

Situation with bears in Romania has become very bad, mainly because half of all the people transiting the area (mostly my fellow Romanians but also lots of foreigners) feed the bears, usually from the safety of their cars. This has attracted more and more bears, together with habitat loss.

I hope nothing happens to the bear.

Pro tip stay far away from mama bear and her cubs.

No, he was not killed by a bear. He left three cubs motherless because he provoked the female bear who, being a wild animal, attacked. Basically this guy committed murder suicide, killed himself and the female bear. I am Romanian, I hate it that there are so many bears around where I live and if I hear a funny sound in the forest, guess what I do? Walk the fuck out of there asap. You DO NOT want to see a bear live, believe me.

A moron that died for a couple of pictures with a bear.The comfort and safety of modern life has made people dumb, very dumb.I mean our ancestors had the common sense of staying away from that kind of wildlife.

It’s never ok to feed bears. They learn that humans are a food source leading to more dangerous situations.

Dude left his motorcycle to feed the cubs. Im sorry but that’s a Darwin award right there.

Let it be noted that the subpar, highly medieval and inapt Romanian authorities killed the bear shortly after. No sign of the cubs as of this morning.

It’s worth noting that the guy left his motorcycle under a sign with “don’t feed the bears” and he went straight to feed the bears.
Unfortunately, the mother was killed by the authorities ;(
Lol. Natural selection strikes again.
Anyone got the pictures of him not blurred?
He went to feed the bears?
Mama bear protecting her cubbies, nothing special here.
It should be obvious, but don’t approach bears, ESPECIALLY A MOTHER WITH CUBS.
Deserved
It should say “Italian motorcyclist attacks bear”.
Dumbass.
You absolutely never ever approach a bear mother and her cubs.
Well, natural selection I guess
I would shit my pants and floor it if i saw a bear with cubs, this dude stopped to feed them . . .
Sad for the mother, and the cub. Mother killed, and, what happened to the cub? Idiot dead due to his own ego and stupidity. Darwin award.
You don’t feed bears…
Now mama bear is dead and poor cubs are orphaned and will probably die too. GG dumbass
