I was a Park Ranger in Yellowstone, and I’ve seen numerous tourists walk up to bears and bison and treat them as if they were bunny rabbits.

I was also a ranger in Alaska, where I saw the same thing with bears and moose, and I did a lot of backpacking in Glacier park, where grizzlies have killed people.

By your “logic” if and when those bears/moose/bison attacked the foolish tourists/backpackers, they deserve to be killed by the beasts, as they instigated it.

I don’t believe in taunting animals, but Man was created by God, he has a soul, and has far more value than any animal, no matter how magnificent, and if I am ever at a zoo or park and someone is being attacked by an animal, no matter how the attack was instigated, I will pull my gun and shoot that animal.

People, with souls and ever-lasting lives, in Heaven or Hell, have far more value than animals...to think differently is to adopt the sick PETA mentality that says “ a dog is a rat is a boy.”

I expect to see such foolish, anti-Life and anti-Christian beliefs on DU, but I never, ever thought I would see such anti-Life sentiments here on free Republic.
