The Sierra Club wants the Forest Service to require
everyone who enters a national forest in grizzly bear
country to carry bear spray Spokeswoman Heidi Godwin
said in a news release, "The proper use of bear
pepper spray will reduce human injuries caused by
bears, reduce the number of grizzly bears killed in
self defense, and help promote the recovery and survival
of the grizzly bear."
We don't necessarily approve of making
new laws, but it does show how effective bear spray
is against bears. Also, make sure that the spray you
are using is registered with the EPA for use against
bears. There is a special formula for this and ordinary
pepper spray is not recommended.
Make sure you have bear repellent
with you on your next trip into the bushes to answer
Nature's calls!
