TV host and famous zookeeper Jack Hanna says he took his own advice and… used pepper spray on a grizzly bear headed toward him. (Instead of killing it with his bare hands, like any self-respecting animal expert would do.)
The Columbus Zoo keeper and frequent David Letterman guest said he was with his wife and other hikers in Montana’s Glacier National Park on Saturday when a bear cub, weighing about 125 pounds, charged them. Hanna told The Columbus Dispatch that he held up a canister of pepper spray, which he takes routinely on hikes.
“At about 30 feet, I unload my pepper spray, and the wind takes it,” he told the newspaper.
But the bear kept coming. Hanna sprayed toward the animal again, but still it kept coming.
“Then the third time I unload that pepper spray right in his face,” Hanna said.
The bear turned around and fled.
Hanna said he’s been carrying pepper spray on hikes for 15 years, but Saturday was the first time he’s used it. Hanna had recently filmed a message for the National Park Service encouraging hikers to carry pepper spray.
He should have taken a death worthy of Steve Irwin, instead of pussying out and using pepper spray. … which drunk coeds use.
