Good Samaritan staves off predatory black bear in Red Lodge
RED LODGE - A black bear tried to attack a pedestrian last week in Red Lodge. According to a press release from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, at about 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, an adult black bear attempted to attack a person walking near Red Lodge Middle School. But a good Samaritan intervened and was able to prevent the attack. No one was injured. The incident serves as a reminder for residents and visitors to Red Lodge to be bear aware, even while in town. The incident was predatory in nature—the black bear was approaching the person slowly, purposefully and methodically. Predatory encounters can occur when bears have been heavily food conditioned. This year, FWP has observed unprecedented levels of food-conditioned bears in the Red Lodge area due to improperly stored attractants, primarily trash. The incident was reported to FWP officials the next day, Wednesday, Aug. 19. FWP is not currently attempting to capture the bear because the specific bear cannot be identified. Red Lodge Police Department, Carbon County Sheriff’s Office and school officials have been notified of the incident. FWP officials recommended following these protocols to stay safe in bear country, including the town of Red Lodge: -
