But, from what I read in this thread, the video is probably nowhere near as awesome as one would expect. Everyone can kill stuff with weapons, but something awesome would be killing such a massive bear (I have no idea what 450 pounds are, but it sounds like a lot) with bare hands.
roughly 204.1 kg, my metric buddy. ^_^

I'm disgusted by this. I don't care if its a 17 yr old or 12 yr old, I don't like seeing animals being killed for fun. Its like going to hunt humans, would you do it for fun? Even though it was trying to eat a cub, let nature take its course, its been like that for millions of years, why change it?

Change is imminent, and as much as I disagree with animal violence and hate hunting, I doubt I'd be able to watch a cub get eaten. :[

I know, but its nature. Humans have no right to step into the role. Even tho we already did. :/

The thing is, she actually ended up keeping the bear's meat and selling much of its carcass, if I recall the video/related news-stuff correctly. Responsible hunters don't take more than they pay for the tags for to hunt. Most American hunters are now responsible hunters. They also usually keep most of the meat from the animals they end up killing. And humans ARE A PART OF THE NATURAL ORDER. Plus, the most atrocious hunting practices are actually occurring in SE Asia, Africa, and South America, where there is far less enforcement of reasonable hunting practices.
whoops

Meh, however you look at it, humans are just another race, and we need food and water, just like a lion or a bear. The thing that annoys me is that as soon as an animal kills a human, that animal is hunted down and killed. If a human kills an animal, it's congratulations, take a photo, sell the meat, and do it all again.

But, unlike other animals, how many species of animals have we wiped out over a small amount of time? Thousands, no millions. Has any other species done that? No.

The typical modern hunter is against species extinction nowadays. Or at least they are where I live, where, even if you don't hunt, you probably know someone who does.

Also, those largely occurred in times or places where humans still viewed nature as an enemy to be conquered and subdued.

And what about insects and rodents who carry diseases and such? Those wreak just as much havoc as we are capable of on species. And, unless we count insects and plants among the species we've eradicated, it's nowhere near a million species. Thousands, yes. Millions, no.

We're the ones who spread around most of the harmful insects and diseases carrying rodents that have eradicated species. We're to blame for that.

Meh, I hate this girl. Hunting is such a horrible and cruel sport (my opinion), and bears are a beautiful animal, how dare she kill such an animal </3

The humans largely responsible for those are long dead and couldn't have done anything about them anyways. And such parasites tag along with any mega-fauna species (meaning species that weigh over 100 lbs or 40 kg) such as elephants, deer, or humans when they migrate from feeding ground to feeding ground, amongst other migratory species.

Efforts against species extinction should be more concentrated in developing countries such as India and China anyways, since they're the ones causing the most species die-off at this point. Government agencies in the US and Canada have very effective policies in place to keep a species dying out from overpopulation or over-hunting. Bears in Canada are nowhere near endangered species levels, with the possible exception of the grizzly. Allowing people to hunt limited numbers of animals allows the government wildlife agencies responsible for these animals to recoup a bit of their operating costs AND to keep the populations near healthy levels which don't put the species at risk of mass starvation from overpopulation.
