A 12-year-old Boy Scout suffered minor injuries and needed a rabies shot following a black bear attack at a campsite in New York
A bear was tranquilized and removed from a tree after getting stuck in it for several hours on Wednesday afternoon.
On May 5, U.S. Department of Agriculture staff working with State Parks and DEC captured and humanely euthanized the bear following appropriate protocols. The DEC reminds the public that while bear attacks on people are extremely rare, these are large, powerful wild animals, and interactions with them must be avoided for public safety and the well-being of the animals.--Keep your campsite as clean as possible. Clean up immediately after all meals.--Do not leave food or coolers out at any time. Store them in the trunk of your car or the cab of your truck, and keep the windows shut and the coolers out of sight.
--Do not put grease, garbage, plastic diapers, cans, bottles or other refuse into the fireplace. These items do not properly burn and will attract bears with their odors.--Stay calm, walk slowly and speak in a loud, calm voice. Or you can leave slowly by cautiously backing away from the bear. Do not run from it.
--Use the buddy system. Multiple people together appear to be a greater threat to a bear, so do not separate.
