Two people and their dog were killed in a grizzly bear attack at Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, on Friday, park officials said on Sunday.
The victims were a Canadian couple, according to Kim Titchener, the founder of Bear Safety and More and a friend of the family.
Parks Canada received an alert from a satellite device inside the park at around 8 p.m. on Friday, according to a statement on the park’s Facebook page.
“It’s really just the reason why we’re seeing more attacks, which is more people heading outdoors and unfortunately not being educated on this,” said Kim Titchener, the founder of ‘Bear Safety and More’ and also a friend of the family, adding that only 14% of grizzly bear attacks worldwide lead to fatalities.
