This sign can be seen all over Haida Gwaii, along with "Danger of bear attack" signs.

Sad (because realistically she is dead) but not really creepy. If you dont wanna get nom nommed by a bear then maybe dont go to a forest that says "DANGER Bear in Area".

Unless of course those signs were put up after, for that very reason.

That is a valid possibilty true.

Wow, I hate that victim blaming thought process. If you don't want to get run over by a car, you shouldn't have left your house. If you don't want to get rped, you shouldn't have gone out into the world where rpists are.

Edit: my attempts to soft censor to avoid triggering have resulted in some interesting formatting

We are allowed to spell words out here.. Your comment isn't being monotized, the advertisers can't hurt you.

It's more about not triggering someone

Ah yes the preventable or malicious actions of humans are totally equatable with literal wild animals existing in their habitat. Those things you list happen while people go about their normal every day lives, you cant avoid them as long as you want to participate in society. To get killed by a bear in this forest you need to actively decide to go there and disregard the warnings. If you die there you are 100% responsible for your own death and maybe even that of the bear that may need to be put down because of your idiotic intrusion into its territory.

Humans are literally animals. To get run over by a car, you need to go out to their natural habitat, roads.
