The Ministry of Natural Resources has killed a black bear believed responsible for the fatal attack on a woman at Missinaibi Provincial Park north of Chapleau earlier this week.

Ministry staff shot and killed a black bear at approximately 8:00 a.m. Saturday, September 10, 2005 , near the area where the fatal attack occurred in a remote area of the park. The animal fits the description of the bear that attacked Dr. Jacqueline Perry and her husband, Marc Jordan, including a wound to its neck like one that Jordan inflicted as he tried to fight the bear off.

The ministry has now called off the search which started following the attack on September 6, 2005 but staff continue to gather evidence. The ministry is also sending the carcass of the animal for testing.

520 Lb Manitoba Black Bear
Pastor Duane Vanderklok from Rapid City, Michigan took this 520 pound black bear - just over 7 feet- skull measured over 21 inches. Luck was on his side no doubt! There was a sow on the bait and he came chasing after her. Perfect shot -- the bear went about 20 yards. This is the second Booner taken this past spring in Manitoba with Hastings Bros. Outfitters.
