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. L’ours s’est retourné contre lui, et l’a attaqué jusqu’à ce qu’un voisin finisse par faire fuir l’animal en fonçant vers lui en camionnette en klaxonnant.
