Polar Bear Victimized in Headline

Currently the headline here reads “Polar bear attacks woman at Berlin Zoo” but let's take a look at the very first paragraph…

A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time…

The woman did what? The bears are actively feeding, and the woman climbs a fence then jumps into their habitat, and we're blaming the polar bears for attacking her? Pay no attention to the pure stupidity of the woman, and her brave attempts to remove her genes from the gene pool… let's focus on the bears and the crazy ways they follow their animal instincts.

Right on. The headline should read 'Woman attacks polar bears"
This for two reasons, a) this is the only correct headline, b) more people would read the headlines and click on it!
ANd i think it is despicable to put any blame on bears in captivity to eat something that was attacking them!

I saw this on the news last night and I wasn't sure I heard them correctly. How stupid is this woman? Poor polar bears.

nice call, Pedro. Too bad she wasn't successful as removing herself from the gene pool, as you so eloquently pointed out :)

I didn't want to go so far as hoping she was successful, since it's not cool to wish death upon most people. With that being said, I agree with you. ;)

wow! this girl is crazy! i also saw this on the news last night and the lady literally JUMPED in. How idiotic is that! What does she expect them to do, play with her and giggle. Of course they will attack her, they will think she is prey, not a play mate.
