“Liberals should remember their little brass bells.”

For them, or for the kitty-kat?

I’ve heard that wearing bells in bear country will get them moving away from you, but I suspect that it only increases your chances of being ambushed by a cat.

There’s an old joke about how to identify bear scat. It has small bells in it and it smells like pepper spray.

Wearing bells invites hungry bears ( or wolf packs or lions or...) to find an easy meal.

Like ringing the dinner bell—do not believe the liberal line that bells will drive bears away.

The bells and pepper spray don't seem to help much with bears, don't know about cougars. ;-)

Bear warning
