Green Bay Packers Fan Needed 41 Stitches After Being Attacked By Actual Bear In Florida (VIDEO)

Packers fans and Bears fans naturally don’t like each other, but the rivalry usually stays on the field with Green Bay leading the all-time series—with 96 wins to 94 losses.

For one Florida man, that rivalry almost cost him his life when an actual Bear attacked him, and he just happened to be wearing a Green Bay Packers shirt at the time.

Here’s the story via FOX 6:

Andy Meunier, tells us he’s recovering well after being attacked by a bear just a few steps outside his Naples, Florida, home. “I saw it and spun around but by then I was hit,” said Meunier.

Meunier stated he was letting his dog out when he spotted three bears next to him. One of them took a swipe.

“I think at that point adrenaline carried me through it, you know, I didn’t know if I was cut or bleeding or anything until, after getting hit the next thing I really remember was getting inside and closing the door,” Meunier said. Meunier tells us, he felt the blood starting to run down his face and quickly covered it with a T-shirt. “Then I proceeded to call 911 and they came and took care of me,” Meunier said.

It took a few interviews for him to realize the irony in a Bear attacking a Packers fan.

“One of my friends up there texted me that, and said basically isn’t that ironic? You got a Packer shirt on talking about a bear attack,” said Meunier. As he stays home from work, trying to get the swelling to go down, he says it’s the football irony that’s helping him get through it. “It kind of gets me through it cause it’s kind of funny how came into place that way,” Meunier said. All things considered, it may be the only time this football season, where the bears came out on top. “I’ll give ’em this one! This one you can chalk up on the win column for them,” said Meunier. “…I’m just happy to be alive. It could’ve been a totally different story.”

To make this story even crazier, this was the first black bear attack in all of South Florida since 1970.
