Bear mauls Alaska man who gave it barbecue meat

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A black bear mauled a man at a campground in Alaska, but the animal won’t likely threaten other people, the state Department of Fish and Game said.

Spokesman Ken Marsh said the bear was “pretty much goaded” into the attack Saturday near Eklutna Lake Campground north of Anchorage because the man fed it meat from a church barbecue, the Anchorage Daily News (http://bit.ly/11sQbZW ) reported.
