The “miracle woman” who faced the bear said, “Who does this?”

The video released yesterday by EL DIA in which a woman clashes with a bear to defend her dogs has gone viral and has added a new chapter. The protagonist of this story also faced the press microphones and shared her feelings.

This is Hailey Morinico, a teenager barely 17 who had the courage to expose herself to the worst of ends. Security camera footage last Tuesday showed the young woman pushing a bear hitting the family’s dogs in the backyard of her home and they traveled around the world. And it all ended in the best possible way since Morinico only left with a crooked finger.

It is all the more fortuitous that the bear was accompanied by its two cubs, and no need to be an expert to know that such an animal could have attacked and killed the woman. The truth is that she said in an interview with the famous American program “Good Morning America” ​​that it was a push to protect her dogs, and that it was so strong that she did not even realized she was facing a challenge until after the fact.

“I didn’t know I had it in me, to be honest,” she said. “Who does that? Who sane pushes a bear?”

Ron Magill, director of communications for Zoo Miami, said you should never attack a wild animal or make physical contact and instead try to appear as big and fearsome as possible.

“The bear just kept its position on the wall, aggressively hitting the barking dogs because its instinct is to protect its cubs,” the expert explained. But perhaps the instinct to protect his own little figuratives took hold of Morinico in a moment of extreme stress.
