Cooler heads prevailed, the bear will not be killed.

Screaming couple 'provoked' fatal grizzly attack  The grizzly bear had no history of aggressive behaviour with park visitors  A fatal grizzly bear attack in July at Yellowstone National Park may have been provoked when the victim and his wife fled and screamed, officials say.
Hikers said they heard a woman's screams and a man making animal noises, possibly to scare away the animal.
The bear killed Brian Matayoshi, 57, before picking up his wife Marilyn by her backpack, but she was not harmed.
Park authorities decided to let the animal remain free as its reaction was deemed normal for a surprise encounter.
