Human Changes to Environment Could Be Behind Recent Fatal Bear Attacks - by Evey Weisblat, Arkansas Advocate

When a black bear attacked a man in Franklin County on Sept. 3, it seemed like a one-off tragedy. But a second fatal attack just four weeks later and about 80 miles west, has raised questions about whether the fatal attacks — the first in more than a century — are more than a coincidence.
