Isn’t there something about bears being sent to kill someone or a group of people for criticizing someone?

When 42 little children teased God's prophet Elisha for being bald and he cursed them in the name of the Lord? According to the bible, two bears came out of the forest and killed them all. --Note that this bloody execution for a childish prank is the work of the God of the bible. Is a person like this worthy of worship? Is this "pro-life"?
"And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." (II Kings 2:23-24)

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
this is from a LOVING god???

The prophet Elisha curses the kids that call him 'bald head' and gos sends two bears who kill forty two of them.
But in a very loving way.

Yes, in one of the books of Samuel, i can't remember what one. a shepard named david was tending sheep when he had to kill bear,and lion, to protect the flock. Also, when David went down to see his brothers on the battlefield, they tried to stop David from fighting Goliath.

No, the verse is explaining that followers of Christianity will turn into bears & monkeys.
