Bear Attack Near Salmon Arm

A woman walking her off-leash dog near Salmon Arm’s Shuswap Memorial Cemetery had a close encounter with a mama bear Sunday morning—when the dog chased a cub up a tree, triggering a defensive attack. The woman suffered minor injuries, got to her car, and was released from the hospital. Conservation officers confirmed the bear acted protectively and won’t pursue them; trails remain closed as officials monitor the area. A stark reminder: keep pets leashed in bear country and respect wildlife’s space. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
