        It’s so weird to include that alongside all the stuff about the bears hunting and eating people. I guess they couldn’t find quotes from relatives of the victims if that’s being kept private for decency’s sake or something, but just this random inclusion of a farmer talking about how heartbroken he is over losing like $50 (at the most) worth of apples is so dissonant with the rest of it.
