The National Park Service has warned against sacrificing slower friends in a bear attack ‘even if the friendship has run its course’
The warning then adds: “Do NOT push down a slower friend (even if you think the friendship has run its course).”
Instead, it is advised that people hold their ground and make noise to identify yourself as a human and not a prey animal. “We recommend using your voice. (Waving and showing off your opposable thumb means nothing to the bear),” the message reads.
“We apologize to any ‘friends’ who were brought on a hike as the ‘bait’ or were sacrificed to save the group. You will be missed. ”

“There have been a record number of grizzly bear attacks in the Yellowstone region in 2020, possibly due to the increase in people hiking in the region in search of a respite from pandemic lockdowns.”
Because Gorbal Warning...
And TRUMP!
This article is unbearable. I can’t bear to read another one like it. I’m just bearing my soul. And it’s not that interesting. I could bearly get through the whole article.
And they say to use a bearitone voice when trying to scare the bear.
Maybe a big bearly guy could fight one off with a good punch. I don’t know
My first thought was the Babylon Bee .... but I guess the National Park Service has at least one person with a sense of humor.
I should get kicked off the board for that post
I don’t need to outrun the bear...
Bears must really be chowing down on hikers this year.
“I don’t have to outrun a bear, I just have to outrun YOU!”
Tag, you’re it!

Clearly a Babylon Bear story.
Two meals for the price of one.
Or....
From the Babylon Oso
Two meals for the price of Juan...
I don’t know about anyone else, but I usually carry around a hogtied Democrat to throw down in front of the bear.
Right. You talked me out of it. Next time a bear is after me and a friend I will not sacrifice him. My mother-in-law died a couple years ago, not from being sacrificed to a bear.
Well, he really was more of an associate than a friend.
Same cause of shark attacks. Racially divisive comments, and refugees taking to the ocean because of the wall.
But Babbling Biden might simply confuse the bear.
So, which friend [or relative] would you sacrifice?
Which friend [or relative] would sacrifice you?
Could be a reason to reevaluate friends [and relatives].

Usually they are at least in their mid-thirties. The 29 and under crowd are so earnest that they make your teeth hurt. After a decade on the job they loosen up.
Hoping and praying the main bearings don't spin out when that mighty bruin is bearing down on you.
With you being a Barron of FR and all; Diana goddess of the hunt is on your side, if I recall correctly???
You did bring the .44? Didn't you?
What the hell are Sullivan laws???
