Not sure if this is a joke, or if you are defending God's actions?

All I see is someone trying to ensure accuracy.

Are you conflating accuracy with defending? Do you believe a wrong, should result in an alteration of truth, to make it look worse?

Straightforward answers to your questions: No. No.

But, I believe you have missed the point.

It's problematic to send a bear to attack someone -- particularly if you are the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe with other methods at your disposal. Whether or not the victim dies is besides the point.
