I feel sorry for the bear. Why on earth was it shot?
He was shot in the tent while he was attacking two boys having just killed one other young boy.
It was Animal nature of the bear, but Horatio is going to be missed by us all, especially myself and his close friends he was a wonderful person. RIP Horatio
