No mention if any of the three people were carrying bear spray, so my assumption is that none of them were. So this young grizzly bear was killed eventhough he should be alive. Bear spray must be mandatory, not simply suggested, and without it you cannot enter bear country.

For every action there is a karmic reaction:

Thanks for this positive news, Ida. Sorry the bear died.
Why kill black bears in the first place? Why kill any being? These guys are my idea of perverts.
