Bear kills Suncor employee, 36, on oil sands site in northern Alberta

A Suncor employee has been mauled to death by a black bear at an oil sands site in Canada, as her helpless co-workers watched in horror. Lorna Weafer, 36, was dragged from her seven colleagues and brutally attacked yesterday while she was doing electrical work at the remote Fort McMurray, Alberta site. Her work mates, who weren't carrying bear spray, blasted air horns to scare the animal away, but couldn't save the instrument technician.

Pit bull ripped off part of man’s mouth inside luxury Manhattan condo building: suit

A West Side garment executive is suing a fellow tenant in a luxury condominium building after the neighbor’s pit bull “ripped off” part of the man’s mouth in the building elevator . Alan Johnson, 47, claims the neighbor, Narayan Raj, 37, knew of the dog’s propensity to be violent but encouraged Johnson anyway to pet the animal in the elevator of 555 W. 59 St in in May 2011, according to Manhattan Supreme Court papers. Johnson’s lawyer, Howard Strongin, said that after the dog “ripped off part of (Johnson’s) mouth,” his client required surgery on his upper lip, and in addition to being disfigured, he still has “an impaired ability to smile.”

Killer tiger preying on Indian villages claims its seventh victim in 12 days since escaping from animal reserve

Police in India are hunting a man-eating tiger that is believed to have killed seven villagers in two weeks after escaping from an animal reserve. The tiger's latest victim was an unidentified woman who was found in a forest Tuesday in Uttar Pradesh, India yesterday. The female tiger is believed to be prowling over an area covering around 80 miles and is considered to be far more dangerous than others in the area due to a lack of hunting experience that forces the desperate cat to move closer to human occupation.
