Today in Bear-Punching News

Woman saved by punching bear on the nose after beast pushed her to ground:

A woman has fended off a terrifying bear attack by punching the grizzly beast on the nose after it pushed her to the ground.

The adult female black bear attacked the Washington, United States-based woman from behind as she let her dog outside for some fresh air in the early hours of Saturday morning (October 22).

The Bavarian-styled village in the Cascade Mountains is no stranger to bears, but a charged attack from a bear at 7am is not the best way to start the day.

Note the article calls the bear a grizzly beast but then identifies the bear as a black bear, which is far smaller than a grizzly bear. But it’s a British tabloid, so we should not expect clarity and concision at the expense of sensationalism.

Jeez, I am conflicted about awarding a Kittinger Award here because the last two have gone to bear fighters, and people who fought bears to save others and not themselves. But I’m going to do it to show, maybe once again, that women can win the Kittinger Award.
