A grizzly mauled a sheepherder and killed some sheep and dogs, along the Upper Green River in Wyoming.
Ralph Maughn’s blog has a lively and informative discussion on the incident, and on bears and bear protection in general.
For all the hard work they do, North American sheepherders sure seem to me to get short shrift in U.S. markets. When was the last time you could find anything but New Zealand lamb at your supermarket? And I ask this from Texas, the largest sheep producing state in the U.S. (with very few grizzlies).
While you’re at Maughn’s blog, look at this piece of good news: You don’t have to eat ’em.
