I read a story once about a guide who hunted boars with a rat terrier. The little pip-squeak would tear off after the hogs and chase one until he'd cornered it. The guide said that he often came up to find a very confused pig trying to figure out what the noisy, little thing was.
This story is so sad, tragic and being lied about by the animal rights crowd.
A 6-year-old girl was killed last year in Tennessee because a black bear attacked her 3-year-old brother. While her mother was fighting off the bear, the girl took off. Obviously looking for an easier prey, the bear took off after her. He killed her, then started to eat her.
I would be shocked and amazed to find the bear hadn’t started eating the boy, if he had had enough time before being run off the kill.
After a hunter, in Alabama, was dragged out of a tree by a black bear year-before-last, (I might have the hunter and the girl’s years mixed up) the experts were pressed into telling the truth about black bears; that if they come after you, fight for your life because you are dinner!
The animal rights’ folks would like you to think the black bear is a large raccoon, harmless unless cornered. Because of this, many folks don’t take the necessary precautions when in black bear territory.
Black bear don’t attack because of fear, or because you are near their food or young like grizzlies. They attack because you are their dinner.
I have stories of a black bear stalking and killing three teenage boys. Another of a black bear pulling a woman out of her tent in the 15-minutes the man she was hiking with was gone; another of black bear attacking a 5-year-old and trying to pull her out of her stroller while her mom was taking a walk with her near their home. Another black bear tried to take a 3-year-old and its stroller off the porch where mom had left the child while she went back inside to get something.
Black bear mostly attack humans during the day, and mostly children. You won’t hear this in the news by the animal rights folks. I was very angered by the animal planet host on O’Riley last night and would love to take my information on the show and have a debate with that man!
My mom tells the story of a boy fishing with his dog in Pa. where I grew up. The boy heard rustling behind him, and yelled at the dog several times to behave. When the rustling didn’t stop, he swung his hand around since the rustling had gotten closer, to settle the dog down. The nose he hit wasn’t that of his dog, but a black bear!
The thing that runs my blood cold, is that the bear was probably stalking the boy and no one really realized it! If he hadn’t tried to settle the dog down, the story might have turned out differently.
I hope this information someday saves a child’s life, and protects a family from such tragedy.
We will be praying for the family during this time of grief and horror. No family should have to suffer as this one did!
