Grizzlies Not Laughing Matter

Idaho Statesman opinion editor Kevin Richert just pulled a tongue-in-cheek post that he made re: bears causing slow Internet speeds in Idaho. He did so after learning about the fatal encounter that left a hunter and the bear dead in Boundary County this morning. Kevin tweets: “In light of breaking news from North Idaho, I’ve yanked my bear/Internet blog post. Not the time for making jokes.” He also asked Hucks Online to remove the post made here from his blog item. Which I did. It was a good, sensitive call on Kevin’s part. But the tragedy today raises an interesting question:

Question: Do you view the killing of the controversial killing of the grizzly by Jeremy Hill differently in lieu of today’s tragic news?
