Profile de courage : Le Canadien qui a sauvé une femme des crocs d’un ours polaire

Le 1er novembre 2013, William Ayotte a risqué sa vie pour secourir une femme qui se faisait attaquer par un ours polaire à Churchill, au Manitoba. Il a frappé l’ours avec une pelle, le distrayant assez longtemps pour que la femme puisse s’échapper.
