It seems like the other comments in here are proving her point. Hacker News, too, proves to be an insensitive place.

  Yes, humans can be really insensitive. Most just don't have the capability of seeing things from other perspectives, like the bear's. That guy was starving. He was wounded. He ate a porcupine! The humans were in his traditional territory. I'm sure he didn't like messing with them, because they're dangerous and unpredictable, but it was a desperate situation. And anyway, there are too many of them. They're over-populating, and they have few natural predators. A cull is the best thing for both the humans and the environment. So he ate one baby, out of literally billions on the planet. Not such a big deal when it's a matter of survival. And anyway, that baby would have grown up to be another first world consumer, destroying huge swaths of bear habitat and belching CO2 into the air. Since we're already over 400 ppm, we really must do something right away. All in all, it was for the best. See! HN people can be sensitive!
