Last year in American Fork Canyon located in central Utah, a boy was attacted and killed by a black bear. As tragic as this was, it is the only fatal bear attact ever recorded in Utah. His parents are now sueing the National Forest Service for 2 million dollars due to the fact they feel there should have been more warning signs alarming them of bear country. The National Forest Service is requesting the case never go to court and be dismissed. Although I feel very sorry for what happend and mourn with the parents lost, I am shocked they are sueing and don't agree they should be entitled to any prugative damage reward.
Am I way out of wack hear? Has there been other similar cases where rewards where granted? I also feel if they do win this case, it may have other lasting consequences like exterminating all bears or causing us to sign a disclaimer warning us of all outdoor danger before we go hunting, camping, hiking, fishing, or any other outdoor activity we enjoy. It may even cause hikes in canyon access fees as well as hunting/fishing licence fees.
Anyway, enough of me, lets here your coments!! What do you think about this case?
