All the dirt that's fit to printBear attack victim – “I know what it’s like to be a salmon now”

From the Seattle Times:
A Pennsylvania man attacked by a bear inside his home when the animal followed his dog inside has a newfound appreciation for the power of nature after he needed 70 staples and stitches to close the gaping wound on the back of his head.
“I know what it’s like to be a salmon now,” Richard Moyer told WHTM-TV.
His head and arms heavily bandaged, Richard Moyer said the bear ran inside his Perry County home as he let the dog in early Monday morning. Moyer and his wife, Angela, were hospitalized for bite and scratch marks but released in the afternoon.
The bear jumped on him and attacked his wife when she tried to intervene, Moyer said. Angela Moyer was knocked to the ground and dragged on to the home’s patio, prompting her husband to jump back into the fray, he said.
“That’s when the bear tried to make a meal out of me, and started tearing my head apart,” Moyer told WHP-TV.
That sounds like a real man, defending his wife AFTER he just got mauled. For his wife’s sake, it’s a good thing he’s not a purse-carrier like Toad Palin.
Alaska man survives 45 second bear attack, bear makes it also

From the Washington Post:
Surviving a 45-second mauling by a grizzly bear was just the first step in an Alaska moose hunter’s trek to survival.
Rescuers who helped 65-year-old Donald “Skip” Sanford of Anchorage say he walked more than an hour back to his camp, was floated down a river and then airlifted about 175 miles to an Anchorage hospital.
Sanford told rescuers the bear was about 75 yards away when he first saw it. Then the animal was charging and he just had time to fire one rifle shot before the bear grabbed him.
The grizzly bit Sanford’s head, tearing an ear and leaving deep wounds at the base of his skull. The bear’s claws dug into Sanford’s back.
Dyson turned his own radio on when he heard the shot.
“He was just mumbling. ‘Monty, a bear got me. A bear got me,’ ” said Dyson, who started walking toward the sound of the shot and found his friend covered in blood.
“Skip said he remembered his head being in the bear’s mouth, just going at him,” Dyson said. “All he could do then was pray to the Lord that the bear would let go.” It did, after what Sanford estimated was about 45 seconds.
Holy Fuckin A ! I’m never going back in the forest again.
