Think your Job Is Tough?

There's a place in Russia where there are apparently some bears that have acquired a taste for human flesh.

Terrified workers at a mining compound in one of Russia's most isolated regions are refusing to go to work after a pack of giant bears attacked and ate two of their colleagues.

At least 30 of the hungry animals have been seen prowling close to the mines in northern Kamchatka in search of food, where the mangled remains of the two workers, both guards, were found last week.

The Kamchatka brown bear is one of the world's largest, with males growing to around three metres (10ft) and weighing up to 700kg (1,540lb). They can also reach speeds of up to 30mph (48km/h) despite their size.

I like how the two people killed were "guards". What, exactly, were they prepared to guard against? UFO's? Earthquakes? Poor fashion? Maybe these guards could get some GUNS and then they could shoot the bears.

But what do I know?
